I think that Wade’s statement should be taken as literally as John Lennon’s statement about the Beatles being bigger than Jesus should have been taken.

“How can you compare her to someone who can sell another set of songs most people already have at 300.00 a pop in this economy?

Well I’ve owned Beatles albums on LP records, cassettes, cd’s and now remastered cd’s. Somehow I managed to miss 8 track tapes. LOL!

Stormy,
I’m ordering the remastered Beatles CD’s two at a time to spread out the costs. The individual albums are all in stock and if you order them two at a time you’ll still get free shipping and the total cost is only $5 more then the complete stereo box set…$179 vs $184.

“Who is bigger than the what now?”

That was a pretty ridiculous quote from Billboard’s Wade Jessen who should know better. How can you compare her to a group that has been popular for over 40 years?

With a little help from their fans, The Beatles again rule the marketplace as Fab Four fever greeted Wednesday’s release of the band’s remastered catalog and The Beatles: Rock Band.
Discs are moving steadily, with the $260 stereo and $299 mono box sets selling out at many outlets. Even the band’s website alerted buyers that new box orders would not be shipped until late October “due to the incredible demand.”

At Amazon, the stereo and mono sets ranked first and second on the list of music best sellers, even though the site’s allotment sold out the week before and new orders won’t ship for up to six weeks. The Beatles held 15 spots in the top 20.

Who is bigger than the what now?

Even if Swift’s father did help bankroll parts of her career, there’s no doubt that she’s got something that his money couldn’t buy. There are plenty of rich people, including already established celebrities, who have tried to make it in this business, but haven’t successful. So, I really don’t think her father’s money has much real bearing on her ultimate success. Likewise, is there something that substantiates that Swift’s dad paid the Strait people off to bump Pickler from their tour? It’s possible that I’ve missed that bit of news, but that’s as much of an indictment on Strait as it would be on Swift, if it’s actually true.

“I hear Rick’s comparison, but it’s probably not what I would have said without it being put in my head first.”

Thanks, just curious.

So, Leeann, is Ricky’s record reminiscent of Gillian Welch to your ear?
