But James finds a way to make news even when overseas. First, he captured video of a fan who ran on the field at the World Cup. Now, he has caused an uproar in Taiwan. James stripped down to his compression shorts and threw all of his clothing into the crowd at a Nike-sponsored event. Similar to NBA games, fans clamored for a piece of James memorabilia. The stakes were even higher in this case, because these were personal items straight off of James’ back....

In the Lakers’ 121-116 win over the Pistons on Sunday, the 17-time All-Star was ejected for striking Detroit center Isaiah Stewart in the face while fighting for a rebound early in the third quarter.

Outside of his public image, the other noticeable aspect of Ferry has been his songwriting. While the recordings he made with Roxy Music suggested glamour and good times, Ferry’s introspective soul-searching lyrics tended to be mostly about romantic yearning, desire and heartache—for the protagonist in his lyrics, the situation is never black and white. One of many examples of that jaded sense of detachment and irony is “Mother of Pearl,” from Roxy Music’s 1974 album Stranded: “If you’re looking for love/In a looking glass world/It’s pretty hard to find....
