What Spike Lee learned working Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’
Spike Lee — whose Brooklyn birthday tribute to Michael Jackson has become an annual Aug. 25 event, to be celebrated this year at the Nethermead in Prospect Park — says he’s learned a lot about Jackson as he prepares a documentary about the singer’s “Bad” album.
Lee, famously from Fort Greene and now with offices in DUMBO, considered Jackson a friend, but the fresh revelations amount to a “treasure chest of findings.”
“We have footage in this documentary that no one’s ever seen, stuff that Michael shot himself, behind-the-scenes stuff,” he said in an interview Monday.
