I've read some other article to the same point...

More money than all the Rolling Stone tours combined type stuff and I'm flabbergasted. I get it, of course, I'm in the same place that my parents were when rocknroll first hit, the music's not for me anymore, but man I've always regarded her as chick-lit (that's a condescension) and maybe can hum exactly one line - "she wears high heels, I wear blue jeans" - something like that. While driving around Oregon a month ago I was listening to the "The Coffee House" on Sirius radio (b/c that's where someone left the dial I guess) with an occasional TS tune and honestly I tried to listen with an unbiased ear. Nothing. If someone were to buy me a concert ticket, I'd go but just out of open-minded curiosity. She seems to have a pretty good shelf-life too, usually singers come and go with their particular generation of 14 yo girls growing up and she seems to be out-distancing that. Anyway, all this is just saying I'm an out of touch old guy, get off my lawn. ** Edited by `lag at 10/16/2023, 11:40:32 AM

Entertainers are over-rated and she is the most over-rated of all.

Wow dude, really? Who pissed on your Corn Flakes?

Her music sucks, but at least she's telling stories.

"Most over-rated of all".

Best I could do on short notice. 8-)**

Is the $4.1B revenue or profit? **
BleedinOandM 10/16/23 12:43 PM ET
If I had to venture a guess, would say gross revenue.
EDGEMAN 10/16/23 02:11 PM ET
Agree....so let's assume that the profit is 20% which is reasonable..
BleedinOandM 10/16/23 03:14 PM ET
Will try to watch someday but doubt it will match The Last Waltz.
Va AandM 10/16/23 12:21 PM ET
She's just printing $$ at this point.**

We love it when you say "Sirius" and "on the dial" in the same breath.**

I get that, my buddy says something similar
HokieForever 10/16/23 12:41 PM ET
Agry to a point
Happy Dog 10/16/23 11:49 AM ET
And I'm fine with that, I want to appreciate it, seriously. I just don't.
`lag 10/16/23 12:28 PM ET
Somewhat like that for me with Jimmy Buffett
Happy Dog 10/16/23 12:39 PM ET
Wait. A. Second. WAIT! Exactly who were you laughing at back in college??**
RhinoVT 10/16/23 01:58 PM ET
Heh,heh, your 2nd line is probably the key, when you look in the mirror...

I don’t really get people that go out of their way…
vthokieq 10/16/23 01:17 PM ET
yeah, but you're a Nickleback fan, so your opinion doesn't matter
Vienna_Hokie 10/16/23 04:53 PM ET
and that's kinda it, I'm a rootsy guy myself and that's not TS
`lag 10/16/23 12:38 PM ET
She should start buying small countries. Maybe start with Bermuda?**
