Apparently her huge fan base is attracted to her very personal, relatable songs. She seems to be a very normal person, for a megastar.

I can tell you that this was not at all normal in the South in those days. It was more a matter of suddenly famous so-called “trailer trash” folks who never even knew there were norms.
I was just barely old enough to be aware of these two situations, but even as a child I was aware of the scandals.

I just love playing around with that thought.

Now I feel slighted that I never had a Dark Side t-shirt.

He [Mick Jagger] can still strut his stuff and in those days he was revolutionary.
NYT interviewed Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone magazine.
“In one Rolling Stone cover story, Mr. Jagger said he did not want to be singing “Satisfaction” when he was 42. He’s singing it at 79.
“Now they’re older and Keith has certainly slowed down,” Mr. Wenner said. “Mick is still a miracle, but he’s so old looking.”
“I don’t mind," Mr. Wenner added, “but they look like people out of ‘Lord of the Rings’ or something.”

He’s headed into full-on Q-Anon canibalistic baby-eater territory.

I like the song too! I’ve just never seen the video before, and was surprised that they didn’t even smile at each other. Keep strumming!
-
Great vocals by both. ZERO chemistry between them! It is as though they taped this without the other person present.
-
I’ve never met a man who wasn’t smitten with Stevie Nicks!

Great point!

Very interesting, Semigoodlooking . And informative as well. In the future, I will remind myself not to be so quick to dismiss teen angst. You seem to have a lot of knowledge/experience with teenagers' inner feelings. I really do not have a lot of patience for self-pity, given the very concrete problems faced by people - including teens - in miserable circumstances all over the world. But I do understand that emotional obstacles do arise from within, and even people who are not clinically depressed can feel hopeless whether living on the street in India or in Buckingham Palace.
For me, EMO is a downer. Just listening to a steady diet of it would have had me moaning. As for Billie Eilish, I suspect you are right about the corporate nature of her garage-produced music, but who ever knows showbiz hype from truth. I know that she is singing for and to teens and not the likes of me, but I find her music, well, boring and lacking in anything remotely entertaining. I was surprised that she swept the Grammy Awards, but more power to her for reading the mood of the age. For what is pop culture if not commercialism?
I find myself less and less interested in pop culture, not just what's hot and what's not, but even caring what it is I'm turning my back on. By definition, it exists for the under-30's demographic, because they are its largest consumers. I remember being a teenager and really caring about the latest fads, music, clothing. I'm glad that teens now allow themselves to be supercilious enough to care about those things too, because life will soon enough demand more seriousness from them.
