For a while I thought Taylor Swift to the 2010’s is what Shania Twain was to the late 90s/early 00s.
But nope. Taylor has the level of following I suspect is similar to what Beatle-mania was back in the day. Left that comparison in the rear vision mirror.
I am Not a Swiftie.
I’m not.
By any stretch.
But…the amount of people that apparently don’t care about music but super care about This?
Do Not Like.
Goddamn…Adele…let me guess, your new album is more torch songs?
Growth.
Swift is…fine.
Really.
She’s fine.
Getting mad about her is…weird.
And she recorded that heart-wrenching song with Dixie Chicks about her mum’s cancer, and Dixie Chicks took on Toby Keith.
■■■■■■■■ about ‘write a song about your ex’…
I mean…2006 texted…and told you to STFU.
Whilst her music isn’t my cup of tea and thankfully I can mostly avoid it I don’t have any hate for her at all. She’s good at her job it’s just not to my taste
I mean…
This is my point.
It would be like me picking out one particular NFL player that I have a disagreement with.
Or rather, have been encouraged to have a disagreement with.
I can’t name you the current top forty any more than I can name the ladder in the NFL.
And I’d be embarrassed to give an opinion on the NFL, but it’s okay to weigh in on Swift?
Really?
The whole thing is just freakin’ weird, man.
So…did somebody die recently?
Russian losses per 06/02/24 reported by the Ukrainian general staff
+1020 men
Springsteen’s mom no longer has it going on.
That was a week ago…keep up to date please
But I’ve been saving that line for a week…
It’s old news though…
Jesse Jane
I haven’t heard of her either
Country music has a sad history of going from mostly pro-labour and pro-union songs to…precisely the words that you used
I only looked her up to identify out the sites I should stay away from…
I only ever saw her in one movie, but I err, well, I certainly did see a lot of her. And yep, I did take a lot from her DVD, learning all about pirates and ship umm, protocols.
RIP young lady.
Does Mojo Nixon count as a celebrity?
Damon Susuki of Can has wandered off in to the great unknown.
Without he and his band mates there would have been quite a few less psych influenced outfits like stone Roses, happy Mondays and Lame impala.
Two out of three ain’t bad.
Much further influence than that. Acts like Blur and XTC were also big fans. Bowie and Eno were clearly listening too.
If you don’t count Mojo Nixon then your thread could use some fixin’
