After the American Idol finale a month or so again, I became obsessed with the idea that the US only allowed Janet back on its air waves since the Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” now because her brother died. I had a theory that we couldn’t forgive her until she had done her penance – as if since she suffered one of the greatest tragedies of her life, we were able to finally say to ourselves, “Yes, I think she’s suffered enough, let us take her back in our bosom.” But only now.

My theory holds up and it doesn’t. Read about it on AND.
