An open note to Ms. Swift:
I don't listen to your music, but I do watch TV, and so I was forced to aurally suck down a line or two.
"When you're 15, if somebody says they love you, you're probably gonna believe it." That's not a direct quote, actually, but it's pretty close, and anyway, I really don't want to devote more of my life to you via a google search.
POINT is...
Just so you know, when I was 15, had someone told me he loved me, I would have said "I don't believe teenagers really even know what love means."
No, seriously, I said this to my high school friends at the time.
Cynical? Perhaps. Reason I probably didn't have all that many friends? Yes. The right answer?
Most definitely.
You can't help having been put up on a pedestal for writing songs "all by yourself!" and singing them reasonably well, and looking good while you do it, and why would you want to? But you can make them just a titch less retarded. For those of us who would prefer our 15 year-olds to become less horrible, not more.
Or, if not for those sad, beleaguered folk, so long unrepresented that they have come to expect it to stay that way, then for the 15 year-olds themselves. Lest they, one day, start websites like this, regretting the stupidity of their own youth.
