In defense of seeing Swift Live … when you are in the fifties | Sarvraz Manzor
R.General, assuming that I can get a ticket, I will see an oasis on a reunification tour. I will be surrounded, I expect, with thousands of middle-aged colleagues singing the lust “You and I will live forever”- While the knowledge of some of us will not reach the contract.
I have recently noticed that many of the music I listened to and the vehicles that I now bring have their roots in the past. I saw the oasis for the first time when I was 23 years old, and my greatest hope at this summer party is that he might take me shortly to the nineties. I saw the pulp in 2023 and was incredible – but mostly because it re -memories of seeing the band decades ago. The same applies to Bruce Springstein and Bob Dylan, which I saw last year. For my generation, it seems that the vehicles are working as temporary time machines that give you an opportunity to reconsider the days of glory.
The only ceremony that you attended last year no Stolen in nostalgia for nostalgia, Taylor Swift’s tour in ages. This was the most successful round in history, and Swift is the largest pop star on this planet, so it should not be completely surprising to have a complete explosion in shows (yes, I went twice). However, according to some, I had no work even there. A Conversation He suggested that four out of 10 people between the ages of 25 and 34 believed that the idea of people in the 1950s and sixties attends an embarrassing disturbance of an embarrassing matter. He made me wonder how I would feel, when I went to see Madonna in 1990 when I was 19 years old, if I observe anyone in the fifties of the audience. I think I thought they were very cool.
I have never cared about musical stumbling. When I was in late teenage, I went to see Billy Joel on the dream river tour while my friends saw stone roses on Spike Island. (In 2013, I went to see Ian Brown in Vinsbar Park in London to try to remember a young man who had no before) machine. I did so because I liked the music – or David Bowie in the case of the tin machine – whether they are cold or embarrassing. This does not mean that I cannot risk the reason that makes some young people feel that it is a bit to be in the fifties or sixties of your life and enjoy the music that clearly aims at a younger audience.
In an era, music appears to be increasingly divided into the lines of generations, which can be held from the music version of the middle age crisis. The vast majority of the audience at the quick ceremony was young, female and sporting more bright than me, but I never felt uncomfortable because I was there to accompany my daughter, Laila – and anyone who might have looked at me would have put me firmly in the “Swiftie Dad” box. He continued to sing. If I had gone alone, but I was more aware. In fact, I am in an accredited relationship with my daughter – she needs a parent to go with her to concerts and need a child. I am afraid of the age of age that she is enough to go to me.
When Laila was very young, she affected her musical tastes – that is why she wanted to see Springstein and Paul McCartney with me – but now affects me. I presented me to Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Shepheel Rawan, as well as less well -known teams such as Sunday (1994). I can only listen to these artists for a closer relationship with Laila, but the truth is that I really love their music. I am grateful to be presented by my daughter to these artists because my musical food system has been largely unchanged since the nineties – and everything is poorer.
The first time I saw an oasis on the stage it was in The Haçienda in 1994. My permanent memory of this party feels the rush of euphoria and joy. Swift’s music might quote an artist from my generation, and she does not tell me anything about my life, but it is smart and developed, and watch it on stage, I felt the same rush to ecstasy and joy. I was excited to be among the young people who create their happiness with their formative musical memories, and I felt heat at a concert focusing on the present, instead of looking at young people now half of the world.
