There is a photo in the Daily Mail (and elsewhere) of happy fans, many making the horn sign. I thought that's just love in sign language. Almost. In love the thumb is thrust outward. They clearly have their thumbs wrapped around their fingers folded toward their palms. You can look up the picture; I don't want to embed it.
It made me shuddeer when I saw this and read the song title in the Daily Mail, but they are young. many knew the words in English and were singing along.
I've been praying, saw some in Paris praying which was solace that not all is lost, they are young, many young get into this kind of music. I'm too old for it but remember fighting with my daughter over "Highway to Hell" and such. Now my 49-year-old daughter likes Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Kim K. Taylor Swift is pretty but has sunk pretty low in crap singing. Is there nothing clean left? I play old songs on yt lol. The Last Farewell, Roger Whittaker, love that and several others, never was into Elvis although my generation. My parents didn't approve.
I pulled up the song on yt. Most of the omments are in French. I can understand a little of it, guess I could have used their translator. The whole band got out and in 2 days was on the way home. There was an article somewhere of how they had put out a request to all their friends on FB to run one of their other songs to the top. A lot of people commented along the lines that it was a sleazy thing to do to try to make money on top of the tragedy.
“Taylor Swift”
A lot of modern performers, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, even Justin Bieber, start out as virginal innocents. Some of them even talk about God. But there seems to be so much pressure on them to come with the sensuality. And boy do they often sink low, later.
I’m in my 40’s and for quite a few years I haven’t listened to current music. Can’t relate to it. I like 80’s stuff but I rarely have music on anyways, it’s usually talk radio, yeah I’m pretty boring. No, actually I don’t care for experiencing the emotions that go along with it. There’s quite a bit of regret in my past. I love the music but it just brings me back to the regrets and longing to go back because my youth was cut so short.
