Opus 2025-107: Swift Decline

You should have sympathy for Taylor Swift.  Keep in mind that she started as a child star and is now moving into that age where everything goes downhill.  She needs to grab for all of the attention and notoriety possible because tomorrow people will say, “Taylor who?”  If you don’t believe it just ask a college student who Bing Crosby was.

I must confess I know nothing about her music.  My son tells me she’s done some good work.  I will take his word for it without further research.  I put her in a class with people like Madonna, Cher and Lady Gaga who owned the world at one time but are now on their way to becoming little old ladies clinging to what was.

Celebrities age like everyone else.  If we ever see them without all that make up, corsets, Photoshop pictures and special lighting they look like a hillbillies sitting out on the front porch in the fading sun.

Consider yourself better off then they are.  Do you have children?  Have they become adults you can be proud of?  Do you have friends who like you for what you are rather than what you can give them?  Do you have a living faith in a living God?  

Like I said, you are better off than they are.  You will probably never be the target of scandalous click bait.
