Turns out, that’s the very same station Martin Scorsese chose to shoot MIchael Jackson’smusic videofor his 1987 hit “Bad.” Well, to honor the deceased pop star (who has gotten a lot of play locally despite few real connections), local City Council rep Letitia James has proposed either installing a plaque or perhaps appending Jackson’s name to the station in some way,reports NYPolitics.
