Lil Nas X did a cover of Jolene and Dolly Parton responded to it on twitter
Image descriptions under the cut
[ID: Screenshots of two tweets. The first one is by Dolly Parton and it says "I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song #Jolene. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it's really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I'm honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX". The second tweet is Lil Nas X responding to the Dolly Parton tweet by simply saying "HOLY SHIT" in all caps. End of ID.]
My precedent one didn't really reflect what I'm doing in that music dedicated blog, so I change it ! For a better understanding and avoid any confusion...
Here's the ancient
and here's the new one !
That one version of the famous Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, original song by AC/DC
This one is a bit more known, but not enough to me
Not a rock one, but her voice...
Just to prevent from any hateful comment I may have seen on other things citing this group, Black Sabbath is, as far as I'm concerned, NOT an anti christian group. Stay respectful, please, not matter the religion or lack of it you have. You can get mad at war though
Thanks for all those adds and corrections !
Released in 1973, this cool and chill song is largely inspired by Billy Joel's personal experience as a bar pianist.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[Refrain] La, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 2] Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me" As the smile ran away from his face "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Verse 3] Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 4] It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
Lyrics by Genius: Billy Joel – Piano Man Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
ok let's make something very clear: Taylor Swift is not a baddie.
she a spoiled white woman who grew up very wealthy and who's individual carbon footprint is larger than the entirety of some small nations.
you know who is a southern baddie? Dolly Parton.
grew up in absolute poverty in a shack with dirt floors
(TS has a rich family and spent every Xmas in NYC)
modeled her style after the town trollop, who she thought was the most beautiful woman in the world, and embraced her sexuality.
(TS retains the image of the young innocent virgin white girl despite being 35 years old and every one of her songs is about a man)
wrote a song about the stupidity of the American work system
(TS is a billionaire with two private jets)
has supported the queer community for decades even through some of its darkest times like the AIDS crisis
(TS uses the queer community like a prop)
started a scientific organization to help cure viruses like AIDS and that even helped develop the Covid vaccine
(TS made the last superbowl all about her becauses she was dating one of the players)
has run a charity since 1995 that sends millions of books to children in poverty, particularly the rural south where she grew up
(TS has done nothing for the south and its problems despite her southern belle persona)
"But she told off Trump! Thats something!"
Honey thats the absolute bare minimum.
That's telling someone 'bless you' after they sneeze.
That's holding the door open for someone in a wheelchair.
Thats waving back to a little kid when they wave at you.
It takes 0 risk and 0 effort and should not be a point of praise.
"Well her southern fans and sponsors didn't like it."
So? Woman is a billionaire with connections all over the world. She literally doesn't need them.
Bottom line: Taylor Swift remains an egotistical bourgeoisie white cunt who should be known for her pollution levels instead of her mid music.
While Dolly remains the bad bitch she's been since the 1970s.
I mainly share my favourite pre-2000s rock music, but I would also love recs from you ! (I'll try post regularly but do not expect much honestly)
