Hey, Jay! Thanks for reading my first-ever article on Medium.

All of your points about "Thriller's" influence are spot-on. At the same time, "Smooth Criminal's" impact was also global and unique. That is why I asked my readers, "Why can't we enjoy one without tearing down the other?"

I'm working on a potential series called "Michael's Great Eight," where I play devil's advocate and defend eight of his most beloved short films. (Spoiler alert: "Black or White" is one of them.)

Thanks again for reading and commenting on my work. I hope you're doing well and staying safe.
