You talk: Michael Jackson's death

Lucy Morganstern, Hastings-on-Hudson

How did you react to the news of Michael Jackson’s death?
I was shocked. It blew my mind. I like jumped a little bit.

Really?
Yeah. I was babysitting and my best friend called me and I just didn’t believe it at first, I guess.

When did you listen to Michael Jackson the most?
Probably when I used to do gymnastics, when I was like 8 years old. I guess I feel like he’s a huge inspiration universally to a lot of people and even as he did things that made people not like him, it’s hard not to have respect for someone with that much talent.

How do you think he’ll be remembered?
I think there will more positive memories than the negative that people have felt through time because he had more of a positive role in people’s lives just by being such an awesome musician.
