Well for what it’s worth, not me. I suppose I’m not better as I listen to classic rock (also classic country, bluegrass, operetta, American songbook music, and other stuff). But at least most of the classic rockers, at least the ones I like most (ie Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Little Feat, Steely Dan, The Who) mostly weren’t overtly political, and when they were, it was in that naive “free everything now” hippie way.
As an aside, Roger Daltrey of The Who supports Brexit, and though that doesn’t make him a right winger, he’s said things which intimate that he might be, at least on some issues (I know he’s said things about immigration being out of control).
She was never ‘quite good’. She was the epitome of a no talent corporate invention. She has a crap, no range voice, and made her name by singing insipid mindless songs about Jr. High breakups that appealed to 10-14 year old girls. Once she outgrew that at 20 something she needed to come up with a new schtick to cover up her lack of talent. I guess we know what that is now. Hook your star to the trendy LGBTQ agenda and hope they’ll buy your music and keep you relevant. I’m sure if she hasn’t already she’ll soon come out in favor of abortion on demand, fighting climate catastrophe or whatever the progressive flavor of the day is.
Not so much 'fickle' as 'Fool me once.........'
She is not so Swift. I guess the Devil finally got to her. Enjoy Hell Taylor.
Swift... That just might be a misnomer..
Hers never was..................Just ask Quincy Jones..............
I have to thank the “musicians” and “music” of the past few decades for causing me to seek out real singers and musicians from earlier times that I didn’t know or didn’t appreciate. For example, will the likes of Taylor Swift ever sound as good as Peggy Lee singing anything, or even Helen Reddy singing “Angie Baby?”
I was never a fan.....
.....there ARE beautiful strong voiced singers out there.....
Try Molly Skaggs ( yes, that Skaggs)
.....listen to her sing with Bethel Music ......’Ain’t No Grave.’......
....she definitely has her Daddy’s pipes!
And she’s a good girl!
“WTH are the REAL MEN IN ENTERTAINMENT?”
Self-contradictory. Same with real women.
How about when one of these “courageous” bandwagon entertainers makes a song mocking Muslims for throwing sodomites off tall buildings?
As for “live and let live”, that horse left the barn hears ago. It’s hardly “live and let live” when the purple mafia goes around suing small businesses for not being complicit in celebrating their perversion, or when they get people fired from their jobs for expressing, even if it’s on their own personal time, opposition to such things as sodomite mirage.
They never just wanted “government out of our bedrooms”, the long game was always to force society to normalize their perversion, and then to force acquiescence, even superiority. The sodomite manifesto stating as much (including the plan to go after the children of other people) was read into the Congressional record many years ago.
I’d argue she was “good” .... can’t stand her. She needs to get Dixie Chick’d.
There are five levels of support/opposition for the Left.
Active Supporters: Fully on board and working for the cause
Passive Supporters: Support the cause, but do not participate actively
Neutral: Neither support or oppose. Not involved.
Passive Opposition: Oppose the cause, but don't do anything about it
Active Opposition: Actively engaged in efforts to oppose the cause. Attend rallies, work the phones, contribute, etc.
The goal of the Left is not to take the Active Opposition and convert it into active support. The goal is to move people in each category one space to the Left.
For instance, they seek to make their Active Opposition into Passive Opposition. Do this by making them embarrassed to be part of the Active Opposition. That is why they portray every opponent as a toothless moron. Who wants to hang out with toothless morons? If you can make these people passive, you have eliminated your strongest opposition.
Also, you seek to turn your Passive Supporter into an Active Supporter. This is what they have done with Tay Tay. She has always been sympathetic to their cause. Now they are just trying to push her into a more active and overt role.
And Dylan himself had no interest in being “the voice of his generation”. He has repeatedly tried to disabuse people of that idea.
“Get to hear real singers like Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald”
Try https://www.radiotunes.com/jazzclassics
It has a free version with commercials. Lots of other categories, 99% of which I have no interest in.
Sold her soul for fame and fortune. Unfortunate.
I don’t think she really has any “colors” politically, this is the 21st C version of “We Are The World”. The sodomite mafia is just better at keeping their agenda in the fore than a bunch of starving Africans were.
Ha! She has made her fortune off the psyche of young kids with her clean-cut image. Now she is going to take it to the next level and educate them and their thwarted parents on the normalcy of sexual deviancy.
Kind of like Miss Spider, just sucking them into the web.
EXXX-aptly. If murdering babies in horrific ways will get her name in the papers and on tv, she’ll jump on that bandwagon. She doesn’t have any deeply held political values. I mean really, a woman who made her career “singing” snarky songs about the men who’d had enough of her sh*t?
I recommend a LGBT Concert Tour in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
