I'm in my mid-50s, and Cowboy Carter is the most interesting album I've listened to in decades, and I'm thrilled that Beyonce won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards for it. From the first time that I listened to it on its release date...well, I'm way middle-aged, and it's been decades since I've put an album on and listened to it on repeat from beginning to end as many times as I have with this one. It must be listened to from start to finish. Cherry picking songs does not work. It's a story. When I listen to it, it makes me think of the rock opera "Tommy" by The Who from way back in the day.
The creativity of this album is unique and excellent. The lyrics and music blow my mind and take my heart away, and that's saying something because the album takes an hour and 20 minutes to get through. It's absolutely perfect.
Who are the INSANELY anti-white people who write this stuff? Really, Beyoncé hasn’t had enough Grammies? Lana Del Rey has none. Bob Dylan I think has three? This chick has like 37. She’s extremely mid. Enough already!
I think these seemingly trivial cultural moments are actually meaningful. Is there anyone on planet earth who feels Beyoncé is deprived—of anything? There is not. So what does it mean that everyone in the cultural sphere has to salaam before her and say that she was ROBBED by evil rednecks? It’s a bit like the old story that Stalin’s speeches received four-hour standing ovations because everyone was afraid to be the first to stop clapping.

Are you 'white?'
I sure “am.”
Are you 'trolling' or just being noisey?

I'll assume you're doing both and will continue doing so; have fun with that. I don't do trolls, so we are DONE.
PS what was with the “white” quotes? Is this along the lines of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “people who believe themselves to be white”?
What part of what I said is “trolling”? Is disagreeing with something now classified as “trolling”? I guess it is if you are in the Bad People basket.
Taylor Swift? The fire fighter announced her win. I love this piece but was confused about that section.
Ah I see. Referring to the first win. apologies
YESSSSSSSSS
Well said, as always.
