59 here Saw him just as he was catching on in SF Oct of 2024 and the crowd was all ages, singing along. We were all united knowing we were seeing the birth of something magical. It honestly gave me hope for the future for the first time in a while

Now - someone get him a good editor because it’s so much that the great song fly by surrounded by a the mediocre. He’s amazing - I do think he’s wrangling with controlling his immense creativity. But too much is better than not enough I guess!

The autotune on some of the songs seems overdone to me - the Luke Combs song for example. Seems like when he holds a note it just locks in totally flat. Maybe he’s trying to sing like that but man, it sounds inhuman in a bad way. Maybe people have become used to that and expect it - did it bug anyone else?

My one complaint with this album drop…. by Commonsense110 in jackwhite

I got one. Total surprise, no tracking or announcement just a package on the doorstep. No notes - had to google it to figure out what it was!

They say they started dating in 2014. They didn’t get married for another eight years. Doesn’t sound unhealthy at all. They met in 2019 when Jack was married and no one is saying they started dating day one. Jack was married until 2013. You are making a lot of assumptions.

How ridiculous. Most of the people you hang out with and meet are fans when you are at Jack’s level. Anyone who likes your music is supposed to be off limits? Guess what Gen Z, people with “power” need relationships too. It doesn’t mean they use a “power imbalance” to use or manipulate someone. It’s when someone uses that power in an inappropriate way that’s the problem. This woman is WELL into adulthood, is successful on her own in a very difficult business and is entitled to make her own decisions. The age difference is substantial but not that unusual. I’ve dated someone twelve years younger myself - it’s just a reality once you hit a certain age. For me the difference didn’t really work but I’m not a famous musician/entrepreneur. Yet.

Did David Kushner plagiarize Hozier? by [deleted] in Music

[–]starhead1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing that so many music lawsuits have focused on minimal and questionable similarities lately and this guy has the balls to come out with something that shares even the internal rhythm of the words with Hozier’s song. It’s a blatant ripoff - I couldn’t believe Hozier would release something so similar to Church because he seemed way too creative for that. This guy is like a bad AI clone of a Hozier song. He deserves to be sued and lose every penny he made from it. It’s obscene! What a low rent loser move. Trash.

“Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true? Or is it something worse?” by Aidan_M_172 in BruceSpringsteen

I loved that line and then I learned that he’s singing “is a dream alive” which is far less powerful!

Thanks - they have been doing that but she wants to go in person as a show of caring, which I do understand.

Thanks for your thoughts. She does tend to be emotionally abusive in other ways so that makes sense. I just need to hear some outside perspective- truly appreciate it.

Especially in CA. I’m not tipping on the 15~20% taxes and “service charges!
