I am with you. I catch myself doing it at times.
Well, that will be a help. Impatient little buggers.
Hell of a way to go through life.
Take away the glitz and glamour of her shows, give her an acoustic guitar and she wouldn't do so hot. Kid sure does have a nice set of gams though.
Maybe. Maybe not. I planned to give some Christmas presents to young relatives that would have put a few dollars in Taylor's pocket. Maybe other parents will be doing the same.
