MORRIS ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:35:29 -0500 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: She will never, never, never...NJC An utterly ridiculous opening number in an otherwise pretty credible Grammy show, long on performances and short on awards. Some great moments, Mumfords, Black Keys, Jack White, The Lumineers. Not so many flash-in-the-pan types and Taylor's silliness notwithstanding not a lot of craziness. I enjoyed it, even though I didn't give a care one way or another who won.

She's basically turned a celebrity gossip column into a song. Of course the media and cash hungry industry folks love it.

People: I don't understand why everyone feels a need to show their devotion to Joni by speaking ill of Taylor Swift. You may not like her style of music; you may not like her choice of song to perform (if indeed it was her choice); you may not like the way the grammy's has evolved into the freak show that it now is; you may resent the fact that TS is financially successful and has millions of devoted fans; You may think TS has no talent, but you are wrong about that. Maybe TS has not invented an entirely original and unique guitar technique as Joni has. But no one else has either. You may not like her music, but she is way more talented and original than MANY other successful contemporary musicians. She writes her own songs; she produces records; she's what? 22 years old? And she looks exactly like Joni did in 1967. Don't get me wrong - I don't buy her records, and I'm not one of her devoted fans. I'm a jazz enthusiast, and I've had to defend Joni to countless jazz snobs. I respect creativity in all of it's forms, and cannot stand by while everyone unfairly dumps on TS. ~Dan ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #224 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
