I am breathing something akin to a sigh of relief that someone has expressed a hint of a less-than-adulatory response to Taylor Swift's oeuvre. I'm a radio host. I'm VERY open to new music, whether indie or gigantic....but I just....can't....I mean...it's lonely out here...I don't get it...I've tried, tentatively to share my lack of adoration to peers who admonish me "But she's SOOOOOO nice! And she's good for politics!" Well, getting new voters, yes. Donating big bucks, yes. But who knows if she's nice? And nice is over-rated. The music itself just doesn't resonate with me. I do think Dessner has been a lucky influence. And the song, "Carolina" from the film "Where the Crawdads Sing" is haunting.
