I had a co-worker who was really into Jimmy Buffet, seen him in concert. I questioned him about it and he really, genuinely liked him. It was something I couldn't comprehend. I really don't know his work except Margaritaville and the burger song. I lot of people like him, he has a party atmosphere at his concert, which could be the allure.

I've given all their albums a listen multiple times, and I still find myself going back to Ashes of the Wake as being the heaviest.

This...

Congratulations. You're now objectively wrong about music.

Yep, I join the adults who (semi-shamelessly) stand up and say, "I respect and like Taylor Swift's music!"

Like James said...

I was surprised and really happy for her that she had shifted her sound somewhat to create a really good, peppy pop song.

I also like "Blank Space." Very catchy.

This Saturday Night Live fake commercial for "Swiftamine" (to be taken by adults who experience vertigo due to their horror at realizing they love Taylor Swift songs) humorously summarizes what many adult Taylor Swift fans may be feeling now after the release of 1989:


Swiftamine - Saturday Night Live - YouTube

^ I relate to this video, because I first heard of Taylor Swift due to her song "Love Story," which I admired right away even as my brain cringed at the illogic of the song that suggests reincarnation, and inexplicably matches together The Scarlet Letter with Romeo and Juliet.

As I listened to "Love Story," I started to think what does it mean that the girl in the song was a scarlet letter? Are we supposed to assume she was an adulteress in love with her Romeo? What the heck is going on there (other than a teenager who had just read about Romeo and Juliet and The Scarlet Letter in high school decided to pen them together into a happy love story)?

But then I just got caught up in the sound of the song and the gushy romanticism, and logic mattered no more. My ears said to my brain, "Just say yes." Dammit, she got me!!

I'm a fan of it, I just think that the album I mentioned is far superior and more interesting. You should give it a shot if you haven already.
