Why? FReepers love to virtue signal that they've never heard of the biggest star on the planet. "Look at me! I'm not paying attention to anything this sinful modern world is doing! I only watch Gunsmoke reruns on the trusty b&w."
It was as annoying 16 years ago as it is today.
So with that in mind, I haven't sullied the inside of a movie theater since “Smokey and the bandit” was in theater’s and I haven't watched a football game since Miami beat the Redskins in Superbowl (whatever), sometime in the early 1970’s.
Grown men and women being overpaid to act or play children's games isn't my idea of entertainment. I use the word “grown” and “men” ( see Bruce Jenner ) and “Women” ( see Fill in the blank ) loosely.
Monitoring the progress of Bill Clintons impeachment on Freerepublic, now, that's entertainment. Owe, and working my ass off and retiring at 56 years old is priceless.
As for a sinful/modern world, I must admit, I ignore it as much as possibly and get on with my life. I certainly don't view it and its vices as entertainment. Especially on my dime and my own time. ;)
I didn’t take any “virtue signaling” from Blue Jay’s post at all.
He paid the lady a compliment, despite not knowing her music. I know the name Taylor Swift, ‘cause it’s all over the place, including FR, but I don’t know her music either.
Not because I’m too good for it, or for her, I’ve just grown too old to tune in.
Sirius XM kicked off its classic southern rock station just in the past few days...that’s where my tuner stops.
Thanks to you I now (happily) know what Miss Swift looks like in glorious profile...man, she flies the colors well.
