Radio

"My brother was murdered when I was seven," he says, matter-of-factly. "Then another brother ODed - heroin - and my other brother committed suicide because he couldn't get off drugs. My sister was a singer, she sang blues. A cop was chasin' some kid through a residential neighbourhood, and the kid killed her when he ran into her car. And through all of that I was makin' records, but it wasn't comin' out in the music. I did it to kinda show people you can have some real tough things happen in your life, but you don't have to wear it on your sleeve."

Taylor Swift should take notes. She may be pretty and a gifted musician but I would hate to date her. She refrains from telling interviewers about her private life yet endorses gossip and rumours in her music. Her sweet demeanour shouldn't shade the fact that she's saying, "Fuck you. I'm so over you and have moved on with my life! Though this concept can make a brilliant new song. Time to make more money!"

Well, it's her life and she can do what the hell she wants. I just feel bad for some of the guys being made out to be massive pricks by being named and shamed when they didn't really get a chance to defend themselves or reveal their side of the story.
