I talk to young people all the time and sometimes music and videos come up. Inevitably, that leads to a discussion of Michael Jackson. I try to impress upon them just how much Michael revolutionized music and the music video. It's difficult for them to understand because they've ALWAYS had MTV and what passes for great now really isn't.
I believe that in the time-space continuum there is a line of demarcation that is this performance on NBC in May of 1983. There was everything before this and then there was everything after this. If you're under 30 you probably won't get this or be able to fully appreciate it, but trust me; there was very little like this on television up to this point, maybe ever.
