Go away Taylor Swift alone

Re: “Albarn in Slo-Mo,” by Mikael Wooden, Jan. 25: Taylor Swift’s music narrates a narrative in regards to the evolution of a virtuous to vengeful lady who leads a profitable revolution in opposition to her belittling critics.

Damon Albarn doubted if she wrote her personal music. His skepticism is garbage. Sadly, Wooden missed the chance to ask Albarn why listeners also needs to doubt her songwriting credibility.

Clearly, Albarn doesn't know Swift. Questioning Swift’s songwriting credibility is tantamount to questioning whether or not the life trials that encourage her music have been true occasions. As a important music listener, and a humane particular person, I discover this insulting. However I don’t discover it shocking.

Earlier than questioning her credibility, Albarn ought to take the time to deeply immerse himself in Swift’s life, the place she might give him some much-needed ethical knowledge.

Might Taylor Swift discover renewed peace from those that degrade her.

What a depressing human being. Damon Albarn, don’t do L.A. any favors by coming again quickly.

Choosing a dropping battle with Taylor Swift is silly. I simply listened to my Blur CD for the primary time in years. Oasis guidelines.

The undefeated (to this point)

What's off-balance?

Watching Amy Schneider compete on “Jeopardy!” [“Amy Schneider’s Winning Attitude,” by Christi Carras, Jan. 19] is like watching LeBron James go one-on-one with my 11-year-old nephew. No contest. And boring.

Why not do that: After a contestant wins $1 million, she or he bids “adieu” and goes to the “Jeopardy! Corridor of Fame,” the place a $1 million bonus awaits.

What might be higher?

Time to wrap it up

Mary McNamara’s column [“‘Ozark’ Is Ending Just in Time,” Jan. 25] hits it proper on the pinnacle. Spot on.

Subsequent, I’d wish to examine how “Protected” aggravated us with the worst English accent by an American actor (Michael C. Corridor) and extra inane plot ridiculousness than anyone sequence ought to have the appropriate to impose on a keen public.

Not everybody’s style in music

Concerning Christi Carras’ on-line article “At SoFi Stadium, Dr. Dre Assembles a Hip-Hop Dream Group for Tremendous Bowl Halftime Present” [Jan. 20]: The lineup for the Tremendous Bowl I’ve seen consists of solely hip-hop/rap performers. Not my style and I’m certain I’m not alone. Are the sponsors OK with a big proportion of viewers simply flipping burgers throughout halftime and tuning out?

The place are the TV grids?

I took the print version for 50 years. I now take the digital model. Why do you make the reader seek for the every day TV grids? They aren’t in a constant place, don’t have a constant format and they're onerous to seek out.

It's a waste of time and very irritating.

Misplaced on ‘Misplaced Daughter’

I disagree with Amina Cain’s op-ed [“I’m Hungry for More Stories on the Ambivalence of Motherhood,” Jan. 23] and with nearly all of movie critics concerning “The Misplaced Daughter.”

I discovered it to be a turgid, stultifying movie a few egocentric, irresponsible lady incapable of referring to anybody.
