2023 Michigan Season Thread

Yeah, I don't like much of Gaga or Aguilera's music in general... Not my genre. I think they've got amazing voices tho. Obv I am a big fan of Adele.

Again, this is not a criticism of Swift. There are some artists who are famous largely because of their voice, like Adele. There are other artists who are famous because of the music, or the songwriting, or the performing, or perhaps a combination of all of that, like Swift.

I was responding to "why is Swift so popular" and saying that a huge portion of it was her songwriting. When people talk about Taylor Swift, that's usually the first thing they talk about.

Yeah I was probably be being a little hard on Adele.  I like her music well enough.  It's not really my thing but she certainly has a great voice. 

I just don't overly care about having a "great" voice.  Though, it certainly needs to be better than Neil Young for me to be able to tolerate it.

And I know you're not criticizing T Swizzle, I'm just providing my response, as you requested.

Having seen Swift live, she's truly a remarkable performer.  I'm not exaggerating when I say she's in my Top 5, and I've seen a LOT of great acts.

You just like how she looks.

Madonna wrote all her own stuff, correct?

I wouldn't brag about it,when Sean Penn was on SNL and Dana Carvey as the Church Lady ripped the ne'er do well. It's still on YouTube I think,"The Madonna is the precious mother of our Lord not some loose floozie stutting across a stage" - or sumsuch. In the sketch Penn drops Carvey - pretty funny

Not gonna lie, she's an attractive young lady.  But so are plenty of others that I have no desire to listen to, so, well, maybe I'm not ALL bad...

I find it hard to believe teams would not change their signals after every game or not realize during the game that something was up. Who knows?  If South Carolina knew Tennessee’s signals and received them from Michigan then both coaches should be terminated immediately.

This is all being discussed here, once you can get through the main part, which is about Taylor Swift.

This is what multi million dollar pay outs for the play offs is doing to college football

Cheating at all levels is rampant in college football up to and including offciating.  

cheating was rampant long before the playoffs and big money
Plenty of history of severe cheating back in the 1800s

Well the Rolling Stones are average-to-shitty rock music, so I take that as a compliment to modern music.

Swifties are ruining America

Swifties are ruining America

This explains it all.

Everyone in DC is a Swiftie.

[ELA]

First time I've heard someone use our government and swift in the same sentence

[Cincydawg]

Ever hear of "swift boating"?

[Cincydawg]

There was no cheating in the 1700s?

Swifties are ruining America

Meh.

Just as in every era, there's good and bad music.

But hearing the skeletal remains of Keith Richards say, about modern music, exactly what the hidebound a-holes of the mid-century said, about using electric guitars and amplified percussion, rather than a big band or symphony orchestra, is neither original nor insightful.  Just another egomaniacal, out of touch has-been, who thinks he represents a lot more than he actually does.

Hey I just realized this is the Michigan off-season thread.  Have we already called it quits on the Wolverines for 2023?  Dang...
