You read that out of a book? You are familiar with Tour Support correct? It’s what you paid your rent with for the first three years you spent on the road. It wasn’t part of your advance. Does tour support exist now? No, it doesn’t.
Tour support is what we gave our wives/girlfriends every time we told them we had to go back out. What you know is the dorm room bong hit story of how the music business worked and there is no arguing with your vast knowledge. You are a joke.
At Taft HS in Chicago teacher’s openly teach that being white makes you bad and the cause of most of the harm in the world. Mexicans come here because Americans destroyed Mexico and left it a wasteland. The Founders were racists and misogynists. Lincoln hated black people and the Civil War was fought over owning slaves, not free them.
When the race riots hit and people start Reginald Dennying whites just for being whites, this will be the cause. It’s all propaganda all the time and the goal is perpetual grievance. It’s pure evil and the Devil is laughing.
Because the press just doesn’t pay enough attention to Taylor Swift.
More than 99% of bands are going to struggle and will never make it to the big time.
I played Little League ball but never made the pros. But I moved on and didn't feel bitter about it.
Who are you trying to fool here?
I read where her new best friend is the skank Lena Dunham who has convinced Taylor that all men are woman haters.
Fooling no one. I am bitter, very bitter. But like I said up thread, only as a consumer, not as a former player. The farm teams have been decimated by the “new” distro model. Less and less are taking the leap and really trying to do it compared to years past, because there is nothing to make. Even on the smallest of levels. Sure everyone can put out a record, but there is no fire to forge them. It’s just dying on the vine. It’s sad to me.
Now when, Hollywood and its multi-million dollar investments start to equal a paltry return, people will notice the drop in product quality and the Fed will step in. Can’t wait to sit back and laugh then.
So Taylor was reared in a wealthy not a coal-mining family and this means she can’t make music, Salon?
It helps explain why an awkward kid with no talent made it big in show business.
Even if you had an album on tape, the packing of the album (artwork, lyrics, etc.) still made it worthwhile to purchase an album.
“Kellie Pickler”
I had to look that one up. I don’t know much about Country unless it’s been around forever.
Coming from money can give musicians a lot of free time to practice and access to good instruments, but it’s not going to give them talent. Not that talent seems to be required for a lot of performers...
I heard that Taylor Swift is hanging around with Lena Dunham.
And in the news today:
Art Garfunkel On Paul Simon: I 'Created A Monster'
About Taylor Swift, sure there's envy. But also, there's a suspicion that she's not all she claims to be. Maybe that's envy, too, but maybe it will turn out to be true.
Sorry to hear that, and I know what you mean. She didn’t seem a real athletic person in the couple of short videos I’ve seen.
That’s fine with me. To each their own.
