Suzi Quatro was a fairly big deal in the UK in the early 70s. Her leather outfits launched more than a few pubescent fantasies. I probably have a 45 of one of her hits somewhere. Devil Gate Drive, IIRC.
Taylor Swift? I don't get it

This was the first time I saw or heard of her. I thought she was a cripple due to being seated, then she got up.

Music can be magical. It's great to hear a old song and the memories flood your mind with what or who you were doing when you first heard it. To me a life without music would be like a life with no color.
I have a big Bluetooth JBL speaker, that's always playing music when I'm working in the garage, or chilling on my patio.
Just a month or so ago I upgraded the stereo in my Tacoma for better sounding tunes. They sound great too!
I have sole and total control over the content of my daily playlist which is all over the map.
There are several pieces by her on it. Her band is tighter than Dick's hat band.

Last time I commented on a Taylor Swift thread, I got dinged (had it coming, no complaints) so I will just say that I do not understand the appeal either.

She's got a couple of songs that are kinda catchy, and I admire her work ethic and the way she takes care of her crew all the way down to truck drivers.
At least Taylor hasn't gone off the deep end like her peer, Miley Cyrus.

HEY RUSTYT, the over/under lasted to 54 posts, and this thread had nothing to do with the Beatles!! I can’t wait for Dec. 8th! It’ll be a Daily Double! One assassination and one birthday of two Rock history icons.
Who is Dick, and why is his hatband tight?
^^^^
He was previously known as Richard Wagstaff Clark.
Then Dick Clark.
Stopped wearing hats for TV shows.
Too tight so it made his face red.
Taylor Swift is one of his nine his daughters.
Swift out gunned Jessie Harrison yesterday.
She's now called.... 220 Swift.
Fast is Hot.
True story.

Richard Cromwell "Lord Protector" of England.
The hatband was in reference to the crown.

The real music is in the underground.
As we think of the 60's and 70's, the soundtrack we think of is a far cry from what Billboard tried to sell.
Few know Lovers Concerto, but Fortunate Son ... yeah baby, that's the era.

Don't feel bad, I got dinged and a ban for saying something negative about John Wayne a few years ago!
I resemble that remark!
Now, THAT was a voice. She could sing any genre and make it sound wonderful. So sad that she's no longer able to sing.

Allow me to suggest an alternative from Germany, for those who recognize Miss Swift's vocal limitations(not critiquing the woman herself):
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tOXgW22xdg[/ame]
That's just one of her many songs -click on a number of them. She has some with the extracurricular stage gymnastics that Swift employs, but a lot of others in different settings, often outdoors. She uses a German folk/pop genre called schlager.
If you don't know German, look up the lyrics on Google. I'd recommend listening to her earlier ones(of which the one noted above is an example), written by a fellow named Jean Frankfurter -a master of melody. They should appear closely together in YouTube's recommendations(a few are in the listings which appear at the end of the video).
This lady has a wonderful voice. Take it from a former voice major. The Germans are fortunate to have her around.
Thank me later,
Andy

Just for a different perspective I thought I would share this about Taylor Swift:
Taylor Swift showed up to surprise a 96-year-old WWII veteran, Mr. Porter, as he was celebrating Christmas with his family. The superstar walked through the door and once the screaming died downplayed “Shake It Off” for the veteran, who also happens to be a massive Taylor Swift fan. The appearance had a special meaning for the pop star who showed up with her parents, as she mentioned to Mr. Porter that her own grandfather is also a Second World War veteran. A video of her impromptu appearance was uploaded to YouTube as fans talk about her "integrity and character" as she gave this war veteran and his family a Christmas day to remember forever.
Check out this heartwarming video of the event.

Hmm, leave it to Faulkner to see the positive side of a topic.
I can’t believe someone started a thread simply to bash Taylor Swift. 
Not a fan of hers but I respect her.
Grumpy old farts need to find a hobby. And I don’t suggest modern music.
There are so many other things that are wrong in this country and our young people. Pick on them instead. Although I doubt tomorrow’s leaders really care about what we think.
