Possibly,.. earlier the author already said she was too big to fail (be hurt by some posse of magats)
ie already the clout but sure the future is unknown

I'm rootin' for her - the world needs another Queen.

Interesting, lots, thanks!. Interesting coincidence with the website and the board here F6s.com
Interesting SEA Electric isn't on the list with multi-billion dollar contracts

It is good you are still here!.

doesn't feel the same. It feels more as just statement of fact.

Exactly and when people state the obvious it can be a source of confusion
It seems to come out of the blue
Like the article we are discussing which had nothing to do with making money
And yet, the author chose to end or conclude their article with that simple statement.
I found it odd and commented appropriately - ironically.
As per usual with this kind of confusion the hyper agenda driven reply with their emotions or pet peeves.
If the author was not being cynical and stating the obvious
It does in fact open the door to the open door inquiry/basis of the article (not knowing for sure how TS will manage the pressure cooker conundrum) 
Maximum monetization.
Only way to know is to ask the author
As far as Taylor goes.. she is most rewarded when she finishes the next song
Her handlers, if they like their jobs should likely go that route

On a philosophical note, the reason the entertainment industries make so much money
Is because people pay for it; so must want it (to relax, feed their religion, politics,
Check urself ;)...

He found that there were three characteristics of behavior that consistently characterized music: formality, arousal (or how calming or exciting a song was), and religiosity. Most societies had music that fell into more than one category.

Given those categories, both machines and foreign listeners were able to pick out a song’s purpose in further tests. The researchers investigated responses from community scientists across the globe, looking at how well they could identify the type of tune based on samples from an online quiz.

People did a decent job guessing the themes, especially for dance songs and lullabies, says author Manvir Singh, a Harvard Ph.D. student in the department of human evolutionary biology. “Music appears in this huge diversity of behavioral, social, emotional context in human societies,” Singh says, “but it does so similarly across societies.”

For mine, it's that sort of comment from you which has so many putting you in the same boat as B402. And though you've been more critical of him lately you, you do also know you agree with him a lot on this board too. Personally i don't see you all in his boat, just more at some times than others.

Burp..

I can elaborate if I must ;).

I wondered what the point of your "She seems to like money so that could be a dark horse ;). " was too. It felt like snark, for no good reason except to suggest some sort of conspiracy or ulterior motive on her part.

Me too Fuagf!, as mentioned I got that from the article we can deconstruct;
[However, sleeping on it last night and in light of the Grammy's with Taylor and Joni in the same room I thought of the Joni line.. Star Making Machinery]

A survey last year by Morning Consult found 53% of American adults are Swift fans. There are almost as many men as women, almost as many Republicans as Democrats, including baby boomers, millennials, Gen Xers and young adults from Gen Z. In other words, a constituency that could make or break a national political campaign.

The recent Republican primary in New Hampshire indicated Trump’s weaknesses with women, who make up much of Swift’s fanbase. But recent polling, too, has shown that Biden’s ratings and support among young voters has dropped and he’s now closely tied in the 18-34 demographic with Trump.

“They’re not crazy about Biden,” says Democratic party consultant Hank Sheinkopf. “If they turn out at all, it may be to oppose Trump and with no intensity at all. But if you’re having trouble with younger people, and you need to do something, what better way to cure the problem, or at least show that you are sensitive to it, than to get Taylor Swift out?”

David Allan, professor of marketing at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, who teaches a Swift-focused course, says the Republicans will have to navigate the singer.

“Republicans need to be careful with Taylor because she’s extremely popular with all-demographic women and some men. You don’t want to appear to be mean because it will only rally her fans,” he says. Conversely, attacking Swift could bring its own counter-intuitive, culture/class war rewards.

“You know she’s having some effect if Fox News is attacking her,” Allan says. “For Trump, having Taylor Swift against him gives him something to talk about.”

Ok, so that was not only for context but finally I was able to find out who the fucker was that made such an egregious comment about our beloved Taylor:

Swift might not even need to formally endorse Biden, Sheinkopf adds. “Even to put it out as rumour makes Biden look less like he’s 81 years old and more like he’s listening to younger people, their subcultural desires and what they feel about things.”

For Swift, he says: “She gets to become a decision-maker, and an even larger figure in American and international life. Her public persona becomes as important as her music and that means she’ll make a lot more money.”

So here, I am very happy to side with our distinguished Southern Gentleman Mr. B4 as
I think we can be confident he would say
It was a f'n Dem!.

I thought Taylor's comment when accepting her award last night that
This award is nice but when I feel most satisfied is when I finish the next song (paraglidin' there)
Was a little schwarmy like listening to anything Justin Trudeau says BUTT
In the context of a Free Swift in Paris fully on board wit it (proper spelling ;)

Ha ha, very kind and will do. I see the root of all that "both" as too sensitive to what camp
Dembs or Repugs a poster is condemned to by "some" of the readers here.
So f'n boring and limiting.
I mostly ignore the Partisan noises in posts and look for new content

Hi Janice, I came up with that impression based on this article
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/01/31/primary-elections-frontloading-voters-00138616?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us
So, if the original text and intention was "wary of political parties" as you say
The point is where to look for solutions - ie there. Going back to the source.
Decisions at the SC are interpreting the Constitution and current laws.
I agree about the Electoral College. I've thought it should be eliminated since I was in elementary school, for whatever that's worth. Which is nothing.
I suggest (for fun) you post a picture of that time that you think captures best you thinking about these heady issues
And let the board decide what it might be worth.

Yup, and another one of em just said dinner is ready and rescued.. so, c u later and thanks ;)

Lol, please don't limit me to double entendres a sign of higher intelligence when I often score trips and quads!

And, no I can't vote down there ;).

Looks interesting will read it ALL later but a little sensitive right now and "both you guys" sounds like more spagetti on da wall ;).

I hope so!.

As mentioned and quoted that comment was in fact light and in context - in the guardian article
It was preceded by the more obvious reasons Taylor would be a democrat
Don't remember Abortion being mentioned
Just checked back and I did not mention abortion
Nor did the article (I think)
I also mentioned in a later post to Blackhawks I never knew or considered TS's opinion on abortion
Blackhawks first brought it up and then yourself
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=173769867
Yup, checked again abortion never mentioned,
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/feb/03/taylor-swift-biden-trump-presidential-race

Kinda like Zor's campaign - throw it and watch it stick.

Likely, but do look for other factors..
Never know, coal dust may give one diarrhea and acute alertness.

Ha ha Zor!,.. yes good enough and no worries; I too can remember those daze of cheap paranoia inducing drugs ;)

Good reminder B4.. exposing the brain to new things.

I bet the founding fathers when giving so much credence and power to political parties

Never experienced one going rogue.

When you fix that don't forget about this electoral college thing as well.

Gawd, 8 states determine an election.

I really don't know anything and why I'm here - exposing my brain ;).

Wasn't actually the issue - Arizona wanted to make it so and was corrected.

Lol, it was a excellent article thanks, and as for the rest of your comments

Ironic ;).

Excellent and unmistakable "position". Thanks..

Still, I'd like the speech. This moment in history is temporarily missing someone to sum it all up and give direction.

[I miss the Queen, she always said the right thing]

Lol, let's put it to a vote. You seem to be the only one with an agenda and at my expense.

Please give (better than "covert disparaging") examples with links

You fool no one. Yet you have to keep pressing your agenda. Why?

Then, please answer your own question.

She endorsed Biden in 2020. Or didn't you know that?
yup, knew that one.
 
Why would she change her mind now when women are dying in record numbers from pregnancy because of trump's SC picks?
Like I just mentioned to Blackhawks didn't know that stance but hopeful she did have it as well as a rational thinker but beliefs are hard to argue with, sometimes one's roots (bible belt i think) are hard to navigate outta - like there is no accounting for taste. Again, nice to know.
 
You seem to think this is some sort of a joke.
Well Arizona, of course if you included the other two lines from my brief post you might have gotten more of the context or
If you read the article that was tagged even better. (or considered how the line you included was punctuated ;)
 
Besides Taylor's dad advising her not to become a casualty like the Dixie Chicks her advisors have the responsibility of a multibillion dollar phenom.
 
“Her domination of the marketplace from every conceivable angle is next-level. But she just seems to get bigger, and to rule every area she enters – the rerecorded albums, the massive tour, the blockbuster movie of the tour, the NFL games where her mere presence changes the center of gravity.”
 
Swift might not even need to formally endorse Biden .. “Even to put it out as rumour makes Biden look less like he’s 81 years old and more like he’s listening to younger people, their subcultural desires and what they feel about things.”
 
“She gets to become a decision-maker, and an even larger figure in American and international life. Her public persona becomes as important as her music and that means she’ll make a lot more money.”

All good Arizona; I do appreciate the contrast and paradoxical nature

Knew of voting but not abortion. Yeah, actions are better than words but some people like words (queue those "advisors"). I would like her to make a statement or better yet a speech; written with the help of the best out there. Don't know who that is currently but
(MLK, Obama, Queen, types etc,..) totally stripped of partisan politics (keep the howlin' coyotes in the dark!) but hits the high high notes of the high ideals she believes in (and align with mine ;)
 
Trying to find an idealistic song, perhaps a true swiftie can help, this one is sorta aspirational, i'm lost, lol:

RIP Aston Barrett

Excellent thanks. With the surplus and domestic and anticipated foreign market demand increasing
Time for a few more good whacks 💥

Yes, seems all too obvious with those points and her otherwise wholesome persona
Who she may endorse.
She seems to like money so that could be a dark horse ;).

What's this, about the 4th or 5th oil refinery strike (all over Russia)

I like this strategy - back off or we turn off your mafia run gas station or whatever John McCain said.

Lol, just catching up on the Taylor S. mania..
Bottom line is her bottom line will improve no matter which way she sides.
Looks like she has as many male fans as female and as many Repugs as Dems
And, a lot of them - 53% of the US pop. out themselves as Swifties

Taylor Swift should do a song about the Steele dossier. As part of a concept album where she comes out as a Pentagon psyop, and confirms every single QAnon delusion, via irresistible ditties about dumping Proud Boys. Two discs. Real proggy.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/01/the-taylor-swift-psyop-freaks-need-to-go-outside/

Missing from Showcap and the attendant links was the Pentagon's reply..

Fox News host Jesse Watters claimed that the Shake It Off hitmaker had been converted into a psychological operations asset four years ago. The Pentagon hit back, saying: “As for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off.”

Bill's making fun of the Magat Repugs Fox axis of evil again - don't believe it for a second, funny though..

This Primary thing looks really undemocratic
It wad a Republican primary.




The Real Reason We’re Stuck with Trump v. Biden

There’s more than one thing wrong with the U.S. primary system.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/01/31/primary-elections-frontloading-voters-00138616?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

A system that is weighted in favour of a particular person or group is organized so that this person or group has an advantage. The current electoral law is still heavily weighted in favour of the ____________ (fill in the blank)

Such a tiny percentage of "votes" and so heavily weighted Zab, wtf?.

Ugh Bar!!, texting on iPub while driving sounds something even more than dangerous (I'm too polite to mention ;)

I almost drove head-on into a Rivian an hour ago, right after posting that.

Not being a lawyer but your phone records and DDSBandRT post/time of day thing sounds incriminating

Be safe, thanks..

C'mon Bar.. you may need to get out more often ;).. I think this is in your backyard:

I don't even see EVs on the road anymore..

Hope she sits in the stands with a Biden Button or two..

Fair enough Arizona and why I as well pointed out some flawed statements of Bill.

.Dreamy Gavin Newsom kicked him in the balls! Maher knew it, looked old and was totally overmatched.

This observation I too shared but phrased differently and admittedly with a leap in logic which was

The fact that Bill was absolutely enamoured with Newsom "Can you teach Biden that Speech"
"You are very good at this" and yes his quiet acquiescence to some points made by Newsom
Means to me he's very much a Democrat - Guilt by association. Ideologically implicated.
Leapin' logic Batman! POW!.

I know. And, I know. ;)

Take it up with who ever formed the committee and Congressional hearing - equivalent standing.

That cancel culture comment must be somewhere else but I take your word for it.
What you did was have me watch this 7 1/2 minute interview where I remembered Newsom's reply bout' CC.
Really good.
