To me, Taylor Swift is much like Dolly Parton. Not in the sense of career or legacy (that remains to be seen), but with both, there is a very sharp, and sound, mind behind the facade. Both are very much in control of their lives, their music, their careers, and their business. And I think that aspect of her is something Taylor's young fans are tapping into and admiring, whether consciously or unconsciously. Taylor Swift is in control, not boyfriends or the music biz.

I've never been a fan but I don't think this sounds bad at all. I like her more after hearing this than before.

And "Facade" is not a negative word unless is used negatively. I didn't use it negatively. I used facade to mean simply "the part you see" (the performer).

If you swim with mackerel, all you see is mackerel. If I could swim and wasn’t deathly afraid of water, except for the bathing kind, I would swim with dolphins. Dolphins are so cool a person doesn’t even want to eat them.

Just a bit. But I am confirmed in my belief in miracles. I'm watching the resurrection of Toby Keith from death by cancel culture, and suddenly 60year old men like Taylor Swift because there's a narrative circulating that the wrong kind of people don't like her. Poor thing, the way the man has been keeping her down. Is it hard to see from up there? I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah, I checked out their politics and got an okay from George Soros before forming any opinion. I doubt that very much. I bet you hardly even know George Soros.

Just wondering, what does George Soros have to do with Taylor Swift, or music in general?

Just wondering, what does George Soros have to do with Taylor Swift, or music in general? In one word, nothing. It was political humor, or something like it, anyway.

"Welcome to my world. I find that statement applies to more & more every day!" I don't think getting older has made me wise. It has made me cognizant of how foolish we all are. The old saying says "Wisdom comes with age." But, for me at least I find age travels alone most of the time. The timing for a discussion of the Laurel Canyon folks is excellent for me as tomorrow afternoon going to a concert by a gyof folks that travel reproducing the Laurel Canyon sound. I’ll post in the next day or two how it struck me.

I was responding sarcastically to another post. I shouldn't have done that.

I read she is flying the entire Super Bowl, fans and all, to Japan so she doesn’t have to fly herself in and risk being late. Wow!
