tracymorgan1.jpgIn an interview with the Bradenton Herald, actor/comedian Tracy Morgan says he likes to listen to Michael Jackson’s music at times when he’s not performing.

Morgan, who gave a phone interview with the news outlet, lists Jackson as one of his inspirations and apparently had Thriller playing in the background during the interview. Here’s a quote from the article posted January 20 2008:

Morgan said he fills his free time with nothing else in particular except those things above, and his stand-up. And sometimes, when he’s not joking around, he likes to sit and listen to Michael Jackson.

Last week, "Thriller" was his choice of background music during the interview. Though Morgan didn’t sing along, he did give kudos to pop star "That’s one of my inspirations," Morgan said. "Michael."
