      Today people are stupid. The think FGL is music and the industry even gave an award to Maren Morris who can’t even land on a single note in a concert of her own songs.
      Taylor Swift is twenty times the musician she is and that’s taking into full account she ain’t no Emmylou Harris or Anne Wilson
      And FGL has some of the shallowest, hazy-stoned lyrics and junior-high percussion since the plethora of bands that didn’t make it past 1970.
