Marc Maron has a desperate need to prove he's smart. If he'd embrace his averageness, he'd be far less annoying. Reformulatiing a thought in pretentious verbiage isn't the same as having an original or interesting thought.
the interviewer is marc maron. he's like a godfather in the alt comedy scene. he's a fantastic interviewer, but goes about it more like a conversation. he is admittedly very self involved, but he's also very insightful much of the time, and what's best, coaxes out great anecdotes and observations from his guests.
but i have a feeling all this commenter hate is coming from people who just want their klosterman without any interruption.
chuck's problem here is he sees memories as a static thing, when in fact, a memory is made not just of the actual event, but the perspective with which we recall it.
Thus, memories are malleable. The emotions associated with them can change because we've grown wiser and can view them with more understanding, or by a person's death. to suggest a memory is somehow corrupted by the fact that your feelings about it change would mean all memories are corrupt, regardless of media influence.
You and Chuck Klosterman would probably be in agreement about emotions surrounding certain memories being able to change. However he's talking about a collective memory about a single, highly public, persona like Michael Jackson which is more likely to carry more impersonal connotative emotional memories. The argument does not accuse all memories of being corrupt. Just ones about pop stars sensationalized because they have died after having been extremely vilified before by the same sources.
If you're interviewing Chuck Klosterman, who is famous for his comments on pop culture, soon after the death of one of the biggest pop icons of all time, it is simply your duty as an interviewer to ask him about that icon.

improper use of the word "mitigate" at 5:06. the word you're looking for is "minimize".

Nah man, it's meta-coverage. He's talking about new media's outrageous coverage of MJ's death, which he has a point, was pretty ridiculous.

Apparently, Jackson used the same physician as Anna Nicole Smith!
