That’s it, two exclamation points is my limit. :)

thanks as always, CM

Julia Hansberry, 12, of Upper St. Clair says Swift is the only country artist she likes. Julia says Swift is “somewhere in between” country and pop. “It sounds like pop music, but it also sounds like country music,” Julia says. “I think she is a little more pop than country.”

why are the adult “experts” trying to maintain that she’s a pure country star?

Grant Langston is an interesting guy. I’ll try to ask him an intelligent question the next time I see him. Maybe something like “have you tried Vicodin with other beers besides Shiner Bock and how were the results different? ” Hmm….

Kellie Gormly of the Tribune Review is giving Alison Bonaguro a run for the money as far as vapidity in young/modern country fluff journalism is concerned. My favorite paragraph:
“A country star gaining crossover fans from the pop-music world is nothing new; it happens more and more often in an industry that increasingly blurs the line between the two genres, experts and fans say. Still, the question remains: Is Swift still predominantly a country artist, or is she now mostly a pop princess?”
I think the only appropriate answer to that weighty inquiry is: Who in their right mind gives a Sh*t! Holy crap!”
