Donβt be dissing Tay Tay!
I think you quoted the wrong part of my post (memory issues? π).
Taylor does nothing for me. Lord knows, I've tried. I've listened to two or three of her albums, watched some of her videos. But she just strikes me as rather ordinary, mainstream pop music, hardly the earth-shattering genius you might expect of someone who gets that kind of attention.
Now, she is an amazing business woman and I certainly respect her for that. The whole sidestepping the fight over her masters by simply re-recording the albums thing was f-ing brilliant.
But her music? I can take it or leave it.

except maybe the halftime show, though I'm still not clear on who it is this year
It's Usher. I'm meh on him so probably take a pass. At least it isn't a certain badly overexposed singer with the initials T.S. Though she might actually get more airtime on TV than Usher does. ππ

My memory can be shaky
Mine has always been shaky, at least for actually remembering "to do" items and dates and such. I'm good with facts and ideas, just not what I am supposed to do next week.
Good vibes for recovery to both Jim and Cora.
Good morning. Nice day here, esp. given that it is mid-February when we are often buried under a foot or two of the white stuff. Forecasting a high of 14C and only a 30% chance of showers now (was higher earlier in the week).
Putting on some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee for the coffee crowd. Scottish Breakfast and Cream of Earl Grey for the tea drinkers. Washed and refilled the pitchers of unsweet iced tea and lemonade in the fridge. Hot chocolate and marshmallow stocks are looking good.
I hear there's some kind of sporting event this weekend. Something about expensive commercials and a musical show with a football game squeezed in somewhere. π My Super Bowl party will consist of watching just about anything other than the Super Bowl (except maybe the halftime show, though I'm still not clear on who it is this year).
Have a good one, folks!
Yeah, but Michael Phelps is not exactly a normal human swimmer. He's probably the closest we have to a real-life Aquaman.
No, I wouldn't do something like that. Would rather just observe sharks in the wild. Amazing animals.
WYE participate in an archaeological dig that called for volunteers to help?

any female under 50 is a dolly-bird
Hm. So my daughter-in-law (24) is a "dolly-bird"? I think I'll keep that bit of intel to myself.π
Coffee is on. A nice dark roast from Nicaragua. Teas are English Breakfast and Raspberry Royale.
Nothing much doing. Our temp is supposed to hit 10C today, which is apparently approaching record territory for February. Feels more like April, to be sure.
Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin
Zeppelin is not generally considered metal per se but is ancestral to it and highly influential in metal circles. And one of the things metal picked up from them is a fascination with fantasy. This song is full of allusions to Lord of the Rings, which remains popular theme material in metal and rock to this day.
