How are you able to control what your kids listen to? My daughter goes in her room and I have no idea what she is listening to and technology these days makes it nearly impossible to control. That said, its hard to find any popular music these days that doesnt have underlying messages or vulgar language in my opinion. Im pretty sure my parents didnt like my music growing up but it had no impact on the person I was or who I became. Its just music and when I hear the garbage my 14 year old listens to at times, I only wish it was Taylor Swift on her phone instead. As long as I dont hear it and it does not impact her ability to be a functioning, respectable human being, Im not going to ban her from listening to it.

If Taylor Swift is banned in your house, what is allowed?

I was never a fan of Karen Carpenter's type of music, but apparently she had such a perfect voice, with her three-octave contralto range, that she was known as "One Take Karen." She would not have needed Auto-Tune had it existed back then.

Yes, as singers go, if you value a certain virtuosity, let's say over other qualities, she certainly had a very strong "talent", regardless of the MOR road the Carpenters took.

If we check the composer, interpreter boxes, I'm thinking of Joni Mitchell, Carole King, even Blondie, to me, the contrast between these and Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and even Lady Gaga is brutally stark. The melodic and poetic strains in the latter group are weak, but that is my interpretation. I don't mean to insult.

Well, so does another paper, the reporter makes 100K a year, so I'm sure that helps with the embarrassment.

It's estimated that she added 5 BILLION to the US economy with her latest tour. She gave all of her truck drivers a 100K bonus. Which is part of the 56M in total she gave as a bonus to her dancers, crew, techs, etc.

One of her concerts registered as a 2.3 earthquake on the richter scale..... it was the 70,000 concert goers... dancing.

There IS a lot to report on besides who she dating.

That is correct. You just agreed with me by writing that. He wrote those songs and many others and none of the other Beatles got a songwriting credit for their creative input. And they shouldn't. Ringo plays the most amazing drums on Long Long Long. But his playing has nothing to do with the songwriting, only the performance, Did George give any credit to the many indian musicians that played on Love You To or Within You Without You? No. And George didn't play on them at all. Ringo wrote Don't Pass Me By on his own. He got credit for that one. He is also listed as a writer on Flying, which is an instrumental throwaway. The point is, who ever wrote the song, the melody, the lyrics, should get a credit. Not some schmoe who came up with a beat or two words to a song.

That is nice of her. It is the least she could do. The Beatles single handedly saved Britain's economy in the 60s. They were even knighted for that reason. Of course, they were being taxed at 90%. I was told by one of the radiologists the other day that it is because of the Beatles that we have MRIs and other radiograph technology. Apparently, EMI, their record company, had a huge stake in investing into that technology. Maybe they should get a royalty for every MRI ever taken.
