[Vendome]

you hate Taylor Swift

[Vendome]

Yeah well, you boxed apples and oranges so leaving probably gave you a few more year..../s

[real saxophonist]

I remember her getting green slimed on a Nickelodeon show called "You Can't Do That On Television", so I've never been able to take her seriously.

Hey, Alanis - What do you say about someone like Anita O'Day, who boinked everyone?

[VTenigma]

I would ban voice autotune

It’s like ten thousand forks, when all you need is a knife.

[Alberta's Child]

The women I knew back then who were most into her music were all players on a women’s hockey team. LOL.

[montag813]

She’s right of course, but some whine more than others. Madonna literally gave BJs to top NYC club owners so they would let her perform, and never complained about it. Taylor Swift, whose ultra-rich parents moved from PA to Nashville and bought her entire gazillionaire career, still whines and complains about men every other week.

[Dr. Ursus]

You compared her to a woman, who was born during the Kansas pandemic in 1919- great.

[lepton]

financial undermining […] starting at the age of three

‘Nearly Every Woman in Music Has Been [...] Harassed [...]’

Boy are there some pretty wide nets in the last, and in regards the first, “whuh?”

[nesnah]

She probably makes crappy sandwiches. ---- I'd say she probably eats them all.

[Flag_This]

It’s a long way to the top, if you wanna rock and roll.

[ronnie raygun]

Im sure shes with tara reid on this, (puke)

[PlateOfShrimp]

Interesting that the places where women seem to be most abused (Hollywood, recording industry) are also hotbeds of the left.

Isn’t it ironic?

[joma89]

And nearly every woman has had sex with a producer or someone in the music industry to further her career.

I didn't compare her to anything. I simply put forth an example that the woman can be the aggressor, too.

BTW I met Anita once, in the '80s. She had a hard life that she mostly brought on herself.

[cymbeline]

“That goes without sayin’ and MANY of them are elected officials.”

And in the entertainment industry, the occupation that Alanis chose.

[M1903A1]

That show’s a legend of childrens’ television...”SNL for kids”.

[elcid1970]

“Morissette’s ninth album, “Such Pretty Forks in the Road,”

The imagination needs the brakes set on that one. Like imagine your favorite pop tart getting boinked by some sweaty music exec, and then go buy her stuff. Gag! GAG!!

Anyway, that title is kinda like the authoress at a Vassar book signing who looked around the room and observed,

“If all these pretty young things were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be at all surprised!”

[Buckeye McFrog]

I know people who went to high school with Madonna. They say there was absolutely nothing special or memorable about her.

[Phil DiBasquette]

No, no I heard it was tomato cans...
