Mitchell Says Kids Secretly Into Michael Jackson
Graham Reid of the New Zealand Herald talked with Alien Ant Farm’s Dryden Mitchell ahead of their performance at Big Day Out where he explained the popularity of the band’s Michael Jackson cover, ‘Smooth Criminal’. Mitchell said, “Kids had secretly been into Michael Jackson. I’d ask them about him and they’d say, ‘Screw him, he’s a freak’, then we’d play the song and they’d go crazy. It’s cool not to like him – he is a weirdo – but he’s also a musical genius. I’m not too excited about his new album [Invincible] but just about everything he’s done is great.”
