[scifinoir2] Frequency Rotation: Jermaine Jackson, “Escape From The Planet Of The Ant Men”

[Martin Baxter]

Have I been living under a rock, to have missed this?

Frequency Rotation: Jermaine Jackson, “Escape From The Planet Of The Ant
Men”
Jason Heller 

 *Each week, *Frequency Rotation *probes a different song with a
speculative-fiction theme. Genre, musical quality, and overall seriousness
may vary.*

“Remember Michael Jackson,” the headlines have been screaming over the past
couple weeks. The anniversary of the pop icon’s death is upon us, and fan
and hater alike had better get used to the exhaustive media tributes (and
fresh rounds of reissues, lawsuits, and Jackson family drama) that will be
popping up every summer from now until the end of existence.

Personally, I don’t mind. I love spectacle, and I love Michael Jackson—and
the two, after all, go hand in hand. His video for “Thriller” fricasseed my
tender brain when I was a kid, and his revamping of trashy genre tropes was
uncannily in sync with my own warped development at the time. Michael,
though, isn’t the only Jackson with geek cred: Behold the secret
science-fiction life of Jermaine Jackson.
