You talk: Michael Jackson's death

Marc Lewis, Tarrytown

How did you feel about the news of Michael Jackson’s death?
Apathetic.

How did you hear about it?
I was working and my mom called me and I was like, 'Uh, I’m working, it’s kind of not important.'

Does your mom feel like it is important?
Yeah, she does. She doesn’t really like Michael Jackson all that much. She’s more a Prince fan, but she felt it was important.

Why is that?
Because they’re the same age, born around the same time. Guess she started to worry about her health.

Do you have a favorite song?
Uh, what’s that video when he’s in Egypt and he’s grabbing his crotch or something like that? I used to do that when I was a baby.

Because you saw it in the video?
Yeah, I would (dance) in front the T.V.

How do you think the world will remember Michael Jackson?
As a controversial figure.
