| 0:00.0 | Taylor Swift is the only person who can compare it to, right? |
| 0:02.5 | And he was so famous. |
| 0:04.2 | And they make a big deal in the movie out of getting Billy Jean on MTV. |
| 0:08.4 | Right. |
| 0:08.6 | And they didn't do black artists. |
| 0:10.3 | There are many reasons, I think, why people connect so powerfully to his music that I get and I understand. |
| 0:17.8 | What I don't understand is like why people who love him that way |
| 0:22.7 | are so attached to him |
| 0:24.9 | as a person. |
| 0:26.5 | It's a really interesting thing. We are back with Clavens on the culture. |
| 0:47.2 | I am Andrew Claven, and this is S with the S on the Clavins. |
| 0:51.7 | No apostrophe. |
| 0:53.5 | That's right. |
