In late November 2001, the CBS television network aired the concerts as a two-hour special in honour of Michael Jackson's thirtieth year as a solo entertainer (his first solo single, "Got to Be There", was recorded in 1971). The show was edited from footage of two separate concerts Michael had orchestrated in New York City's Madison Square Garden on September 7 and September 10 of 2001. The shows sold out in five hours. Ticket prices were pop's most expensive ever; the best seats cost $5,000 and included a dinner with Michael Jackson and a signed poster.
Mrs. McCormac
Приключения в Нью-Йорке купюры в 20 долларов начинаются, когда ее случайно роняют на улице. И 20 баксов начинают путешествовать по городу, перелетая от одного владельца к другому, переходя из одного кошелька в другой, становясь то сдачей, то последней бумажкой в кармане рубашки на остывшем трупе. Каждый раз, когда она попадает к новому владельцу, разыгрывается маленькая история, и 20-долларовая банкнота почти «магически» связывает в своей бесконечной одиссее маленькие истории нищих, детей, грабителей, подростков, жениха и невесты.
