If this new generation thinks Taylor Swift is as good as The Beatles, Cream and Jimi Hendrix, I truly feel sorry for them.

 

[smurfco]

she's definitely better than Cream in many ways

• greater longevity
• better songs
• did not toss kid out of window (as far as we know)

I get to hear a lot of her Stuff as I have two daughters (12 & 16) and I have to say that Miss Swift is a very talented lady. Not for everyone but she's most definitely a musician and songwriter.

Taylor Swift is a talented singer/songwriter type. But, it all sounds like the same boring crap to me.

I respect her talent. I just have no interest in her music.

As for @smurfco complaining that Eric Clapton threw his son out a window, maybe, he was just REALLY progressive. He may think abortion rights should extend to men. And, perhaps, he thinks there should be zero limits. Or, he may think 4 years old and the 53rd floor should be the limit. Or, perhaps, he just wanted to see if the kid would bounce.

For all we know, Taylor Swift has aborted a half dozen babies. She may even write a song about it one day. And, I bet it will suck worse than "Tears In Heaven."

Twist: his kids are all Gary Blanchard's age.

I would honestly like to hear T Swizle cover White Room. I think it would be great...

Lifechanging content. Strong investigative journalism. Good to see Fraser Lewry is on top of the big topics.

Her music isn’t deep. But most rock music isn’t. And as far as shallow music goes, it’s incredible.

I mean... Does the rest of Deep Purple even care what he says? He's been an old grump since the '60s, when he was young.

Breaking News would have been Ritchie coming out as a Swiftie.

Taylor's boyfriend would have caught that baby before it ever reached the balcony.
Unfortunately, he then would have spiked the child into the ground before doing a celebration dance.

Perhaps this will lead to a Swift-Blackmore collaboration in the near future. Burn or Highway Star maybe?

Perhaps Love Story or Style?

Blackmore's Swift?

Nothing more to this than confirmation that the generation gap is eternal...
