Have you heard of Taylor Swift? I just had a little fun filling out a survey.

Can you link one you like?

@porwest But she is pretty, in a boring kind of way.

I will give her that her songs are "catchy," but from a musical ear, not all that complex and not worth a billion dollars.

Heh. Zappa did the same thing as he got "older." Get kids to register and VOTE. Bless her heart. I had not known she was doing that. Perhaps I'll develop a new attitude toward pitch correction technology.

@xander6464 Your argument is flawed in that it doesn't apply to musicians, actors, writers etc. I know you tried hard to make this argument, but it just doesn't work. Of course, as you know, because I know a thing or two about business and other "economics" things, I could try to explain the dynamics and contrast to you. But you wouldn't understand it. But I applaud you for at least trying to bring your point back around in another "forum" of sorts. If nothing else I will give you credit for one thing, and that's to get MY goad enough that I will actually go back and forth with YOU, unlike many others or the typical 3 or so people that respond to your posts and actually line your pockets with a few extra pennies. You can thank me later for being your #1 fan, in your small circle of fans of course, who is ONLY your fan to knock you down and drag you through the mud as softly and as creatively as I possibly can. Perhaps you are also secretly a fan of mine since you seem to enjoy engagement with me. Either way, I assume we'll be chatting again, so I will return this post back to its rightful owner, none other than @TheHorse, who IF we continue our chat, I hope will enjoy some recompense as well for any engagement we may further pursue here. As for Taylor Swift, regardless of her twisted ideology she can laugh herself all the way to the bank and I am fine with that. In 20 years she will probably end up like Brittany Spears dancing around in bikinis around poles on TikTok or Madonna who seems to have proven that woke MINDS show their madness eventually. Insanity is a crazy thing. Woke is insane. And insane people look like nuts and make it clear to the world that you may make money today, sure. But when your mind is gone the money won't matter to anyone but the ones who make your lips into balloons and get to go behind you and clean up all the messes you leave.

@TheHorse When it comes to democrats, morticians do that too. So, what's anyone's point?

@TheHorse American jazz singer.

@BarBaraPrz I like jazz. Send a link!

I hven't heard of Veronica Swift unless she's Veronica from Archie.

@TheHorse Wow, that's harsh . I think the emotions/attitude she expresses appeals to the young crowd. But not for me - just not my thing.

It is painful for me to listen to her garbage.

@much2say Maybe I should not be so harsh. She may have some stuff out there that shows her to be a true musician.

@TheHorse — I can see Taylor semis and Swift semis on the road for free. They sound better, too.

@FourWalls Taylor guitars are quite good.

Should we each pay $50 and go see her in (name that city)?

I am on one survey site. They send me a survey every two weeks or so.

Odd.

@TheHorse It happens in every country. We have now one in Italy, I still wonder how she became famous (Chiara Ferragni), not even pretty.

@LadyDuck I'll have to check out one of her songs.

It's an odd phenomenon, isn't it?

Yep, she's a pop singer.

@Deepizzaguy My internet could not find that site.

I have not heard Modern Talking. Can you provide a link?

@TheHorse Sootify link is

Does anyone know why?

@Shiva49 The women at the prison (when I worked there) liked to watch the Kardashian show.

@TheHorse Lot of hype also plays a part. Kim Kardashian also never seems to leave us alone!

@nela13 Sweet.

How old is your son?

@TheHorse he is 15.

W were all 15 once. But I thought I was too cool to be a "teeny bopper." That's why I liked John Prine more than James Taylor.

@spiderdust He is. I have a lot of his songs rememberized. I should do more of them.

@TheHorse Well, John Prine is a classic. He was a national treasure.

I hadn't realized she's using her public persona for "good causes."

@LindaOHio Signing people up to vote. Zappa did the same.But yes, her handlers and her are good at marketing, it appears.

@TheHorse A good cause of making herself some money?

You are not missing anything.

I am talking to a fellow audio geek friend right now.

You don't need to.

The music itself is pretty pedestrian. But I read she is working for "good causes."

@Hannihar Getting young people to register to vote.

@TheHorse I am glad to hear that she is working for good causes but what causes does she work for?
