As I sit here this evening listening to 60 Minutes doing a story on Taylor S_ _ _ _ _ I grit my teeth. I can't believe people think she is a great song writer --- or singer, no less. From the first time I heard her I could not stand that sound -- her music and her singing. The accompaniment for all of her songs sounds just alike, the melody line always sounds just like the last one she sang. And then there are the words--- supposedly she sings about everyday happenings. Well, who wants to hear about her doings??????????? Only some screaming teenagers, I suppose.
Let's see, maybe I could write a song like Taylor. " I am sittin in the floor, cleanin out the closet, found some old clothes, think I will give them awwwwwaaaaay on tomorrow if tomorrow ever comes." Sounds pretty good -- now let me put it to one of those same ole, same ole melodies of Taylor's.
Now I must stop dissing this girl and give her some credit. It is said that she lives a clean wholesome life and is a great role model for young girls. If this is so, she indeed
deserves this credit in a world where many entertainers are certainly less than clean and wholesome.
I expect no one to agree with me -- probably a good thing!!. These are just the thoughts of an old, old woman who appreciates a more melodic flowing musical sound.
Incidentally, earlier in this same 60 Minutes broadcast they featured a friar monk with a fabulous voice who is preparing to make an album. Interestingly, he can earn no money because of the vows he has taken with his priesthood, thus all proceeds from the recordings will go to charity.
All of these thoughts written by an individual who gave up on this blog and writing several weeks ago. Duh!!!!!
