How about just, shut up and sing?   )

It's a business and personal decision how and where to sell their music.  I suppose they are trading half good (and half bad) PR for losing a sales outlet.  Spotify is not right wing but funny in general for a seller to not want half the market to access your product in any business or industry.

Have you heard that great new song by CSNY?  Just kidding.

Similarly, to appease the 'woke':  Dick's Sporting Goods lost $250 million in revenue on decision to end gun sales.  That's okay, but don't buy their stock and don't buy anything else there if that decision offends you.
https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/dicks-sporting-goods-admits-decision-to-abandon-gun-sales-cost-shareholders-250m-in-revenue/
I wonder if their press release regretted that their decision made defending yourself and your family more difficult, leaving maybe dozens dead and hundreds robbed, and deer herds starving from over-population.

"Steele — who’s written hits like “What Hurts the Most,” “My Wish,” and “These Days” for Rascal Flatts, as well as singles for Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, and Miley Cyrus "

yes he gets takes the credit
but he did not write jack

saw him in Joe's Pub in NYC yrs ago
when I had some choice words for some of his friends
with someone there who I recognized  from Florida because I saw him at least twice following me around.  So it went to that person to the likes of Jeff Steele then to the bigger names .

sorry to post but I can't help myself when I go to one of my favorite sites lauding a lying scumbag.

Noonan on Swift
« Reply #221 on: November 24, 2023, 07:11:05 AM »
Over effusive, but as usual Noonan writes well.


We Should All Give Thanks for Taylor Swift
She brings joy, jobs and happy feet everywhere she goes. She’s the best thing happening in America.
Peggy Noonan
Nov. 22, 2023 6:54 pm ET



Right about now Time magazine would be choosing its Person of the Year, a designation I’ve followed from childhood because their choices tend to vary from sound to interesting. Also I almost always know who they’ll choose and enjoy finding out if I’m right. Here I tell you who it will be and must be or I will be displeased.

Miss Taylor Swift is the Person of the Year. She is the best thing that has happened in America in all of 2023. This fact makes her a suitably international choice because when something good happens in America, boy is it worldwide news.

I have been following her famous Eras tour since it began in March. Everyone says she’s huge, she’s fabulous, but really it’s bigger than that. What she did this year is some kind of epic American story.

Here are the reasons she should be Person of the Year:

Her tour has broken attendance and income records across the country. She has transformed the economy of every city she visits. The U.S. Travel Association reported this fall that what her concertgoers spend in and around each venue “is on par with the Super Bowl, but this time it happened on 53 different nights in 20 different locations over the course of five months.” Downtowns across the country—uniquely battered by the pandemic and the riots and demonstrations of 2020—are, while she is there, brought to life, with an influx of visitors and a local small business boom. Wherever she went it was like the past three years didn’t happen.

When Ms. Swift played Los Angeles for six sold-out nights in August she brought a reported $320 million local windfall with her, including 3,300 jobs and a $160 million increase in local earnings. From Straits Research this month: Ms. Swift’s tour is “an economic phenomenon that is totally altering the rules of entertainment economics.”

When the tour became a bona fide record-breaker Ms. Swift gave everyone in her crew—everyone, the dressers, the guys who move the sets, the sound techs and backup dancers—a combined $55 million in bonuses. The truck drivers received a reported $100,000 each.

Bloomberg Economics reports U.S. gross domestic product went up an estimated $4.3 billion as a result of her first 53 concerts.

The tour made her a billionaire, according to Forbes the first musician ever to make that rank solely based on her songs and performances.

When Ms. Swift made a film of the ongoing tour she reinvented how such things are financed and marketed, upending previous models, and when the film opened, on Oct. 13, it became the most successful concert film in history.

Foreign leaders have begged her to come. One said, “Thailand is back on track to be fully democratic after you had to cancel last time due to the coup.”

All of this is phenomenal, groundbreaking, but it’s just economics. Ms. Swift brings joy. Over the summer I was fascinated by what became familiar, people posting on social media what was going on in the backs of the stadium as Ms. Swift sang. It was thousands of fathers and daughters dancing. When she played in downtown Seattle in July, the stomping was so heavy and the stadium shook so hard it registered on a seismometer as equal to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake.

People meaning to compliment her ask if she’s Elvis or the Beatles, but it is the wrong question. Taylor Swift is her own category.

Here I wish to attest personally to the quality of her art but honey, I’m not the demo, I’m Porgy and Bess, the American Songbook and Joni Mitchell. She writes pleasing tunes with pointed lyrics. They’re sometimes jaunty, sometimes blue, and famously have a particular resonance for teenage girls and young women. She has said she sees herself primarily as a storyteller. They’re her stories and those of her audience—breakups, small triumphs, betrayals, mistakes. Her special bond with her audience is that for 17 years, more than a generation, they’ve been going through life together, experiencing it and talking it through. It’s a relationship.

Nine years ago, in an interview with CBS’s Gayle King, Ms. Swift cooly self-assessed. “My life doesn’t gravitate towards being edgy, sexy, or cool. I just naturally am not any of those things.” Pressed for what she is, she said: “I’m imaginative, I’m smart and I’m hardworking.” She was only 24 but all that seems perfectly correct. She’s focused, ambitious, loves to perform, loves to be cheered, loves to strut. Great careers are all effort. She works herself like a rented mule.

In the Atlantic magazine, the writer Spencer Kornhaber captured her opening show. Over more than three hours she played an amazing 44 songs in Glendale, Ariz. “Somehow seeing her up close made her seem more superhuman.” She has “the stamina of a ram.” She was fearless and inventive. “At one point she induced gasps by seeming to dive into the stage and then swim to the other side, as if it were a pond.”

Friends, this is some kind of epic American thing that is happening, something on the order of great tales and myths. Over the past few months as I’ve thought about and read of Ms. Swift my mind kept going back to phrases that are . . . absurd as comparisons. And yet. “When John Henry was a little baby . . . ” And a beautiful lyric I saw years ago that stayed with me. “Black-eyed peas asks cornbread/ ‘What makes you so strong?’/ Cornbread says, ‘I come from/ Where Joe Louis was born.’ ”

There is just something so mightily American in Taylor Swift’s great year.

Am I getting carried away? Oh yes, I am. And yet I think, isn’t it great that somebody’s shown such excellence you get carried away?

We end with her recent purported famous romance with football star Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Is it real, everyone asks. Who knows? Maybe they don’t know. I don’t understand the argument that they’ve come together for publicity. That’s the one thing she doesn’t need more of and could hardly get more of. As for Mr. Kelce, as J.R. Moehringer noted this week in the Journal, his mug is all over too. Whatever it is they owe no stranger an answer.

But here are reasons people would like it to be real. Because it makes life feel more magical—the prince meets the princess. Because it’s sweet. Because if it’s real then not everything is media management, which is the thing that deep down we always fear. Because it’s fun. Marilyn and Joltin’ Joe made America more fun, more a romantic place where anything can happen and glamour is real. Also if it’s real it adds to the sum total of love in the world, literally increases its quantity, and the love enters the air and the world breathes it in and, for a moment, becomes: better.

Onward to further greatness, Taylor Swift. Onward Travis Kelce. Win the Super Bowl this year, make an impossible catch, jump a man’s height to snatch the ball from the air with 10 seconds to go, score the winning touchdown, hold the ball up to your girl in the stands as the stadium roars and the confetti rains down.

Leave a 100 billion memories. Remind everyone: It’s good to be alive.

Because it is.

OTOH
from my experience writing songs based on personal experience does NOT necessarily mean the claimed songwriter did in fact write the song.

I have seen them distributed to people based on what fits their profile.

I regularly get into trouble for claiming the Beatles killed rock ‘n roll, perhaps an exaggeration, but not much of one as I believe they exerted such an enormous force on the course of pop music in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s that they effectively bent all ensuing genre offerings towards the musical archetypes they established much as a celestial body bends space and time.

This sort of force does not emerge accidentally so I’m with Jones where the “manufactured” claim is concerned, particularly given all the solo treacle (Paul McCartney and Wings ditties makes me want to self-administer a lobotomy with a grapefruit spoon) emerging after they broke up. Indeed, after Lennon was shot my favorite joke was:

Q: What would it take to bring the Beatles back together?

A: Three more bullets.

Good choice
his Hey Joe rendition was unbelievable

I have seen this video but just noticed they are drinking beer!  :-o

One doesn't even mind he can't sing because the guitar work is so amazing one doesn't care.

The album version was great too:

an old Junior high school friend who played sax told me of him while we were (likely) doing marijuana 50 or so yrs ago.

Johnny Thunders
« Reply #235 on: April 05, 2024, 09:32:11 AM »
ccp’s post re Buchanan got me thinking about other guitarists that aren’t regarded as well as the should be. I already posted about Chris Whitley, whose blend of blues, folk, alt rock, and subtle jazz sensibilities makes him a standout.

Another is Johnny Thunders. It’s easy to miss his prowess as his often punk, reductive, guitar work doesn’t scream “look at me, ma!” like wretched, showy guitarists such as Richie Blackmoor, Eddie Van Halen, and others that find the outside edge of their usually limited skill set, crank the amp up to “11,” and then proceed to publicly masturbate using their guitar as an inflatable doll proxy.

Next, I’ll tell you how I really feel about showy guitarists with limited skills….

Anyhoo, Thunders in not the antithesis of the sort of rock musicians I loathe, but rather turns cliches inside out and generally fucks with them, all while letting his understated guitar work shine through his music, rather than dominate it like the meatheads cited above do. Thunders is one of the few guitarists out there that, within the first few bars of a piece, is immediately recognizable, which is also the case where his vocals are concerned.

A lifelong junky, Thunders OD’d in a seedy motel, leaving little other than his body of work behind. You can find much of his work here:

https://music.apple.com/us/artist/johnny-thunders/3184311

A couple of my favorites:

https://music.apple.com/us/album/great-big-kiss/285601659?i=285601789

https://music.apple.com/us/album/you-cant-put-your-arms-around-a-memory/310650295?i=310650315

And hey, while gushing on about an artist, I should confess I initially didn’t have much for the first band most know Thunders from, the New York Dolls. In those days I was into power trios and blues roots stuff; glam rock was far from my cup of tea. Things change, though, and much like I came to embrace Bowie despite his glam strutting (though I still can’t abide China Girl and his pop Thin White Duke crap), the Dolls and their contribution to the early US punk and NY CBGB’s musical scene has grown on me in my dotage.

excellent musician

the song he plays slide guitar reminds me a bit of Johnny Winter.

nice voice
lung cancer at 45 sad.

Indeed. I think Winter has a more balls to the wall style v. the subtleties Whitley embraces but, along with Duane Allman, they are some of the finest rock slide guitarists to be found.

thanks CD

I listened so far to the first half.

It discussed corporations buying up radio stations
and controlling the flow of music on the airwaves.

Nothing though about stolen material.
It is never mentioned to my knowledge, except by personal accounts, though no one has heard it to the extent we experienced.

He was one who claims to have written many songs that I claim he didn't.
Like a retired insurance man who knew the music business said the middlemen steal the created works and get it to the bigger names.
I believe Steele was the second person from the people who robbed us and then he makes up the stuff how he wrote the songs and gets it to the bigger names.

I know this because when I went to Joe's Pub in NYC hanging around these guys was someone I saw following me when I lived in Florida.  That person was on a cellphone with a big smile on his face sitting in his vehicle when I came out of a UHaul rental place.   Of course ,the UHaul broke down perhaps 15 minutes from our Florida home as they thought we would leave it and they had another UHaul to replace it on the wait.  We did not leave it and waited till a UHaul mech. came and found there was a loose water hose.

We were then followed all the way to NJ but I will leave that out.

I hate to see Fox etc glorifying these people.

I believe Jeff Steele is a lying piece of shit, using DTJs words.

the preview played prior to the movie I just saw looks really good.

I never knew Bod Dylan was Jewish!  8-)  Bar Mitzvahed in 1954.

Though, in the late 1970s, Dylan converted to Evangelical Christianity

Although I am not so sure about the Nobel Prize.........
