Live from L.A., for the Michael Jackson Memorial Service
Josh Rogosin, an independent public radio producer, has been staked out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles since way before the dawn. He’s been talking to fans and mourners who have begun to fill the streets of downtown Los Angeles in preparation for Michael Jackson’s memorial service. The Takeaway joins Josh on the street along with fans from across the nation; we also talk to Aaron Flournoy, a waiter at Bennigan’s in Jackson’s hometown of Gary, Indiana.
