But what about this friendship between her and Taylor Swift who is the star of white supremacy.

I don’t obviously know much about it, but I know enough to know that Taylor has not disavowed any connection with them.

These things mean a lot.

I feel like an absolute fool, and I mean it. You are correct. At least I have her album here in my shame to give it a good listen.

I am actually amazed by her talent.

Carly is the farthest thing from white supremacy. I know that Carly has opened her home on Martha's Vineyard to both Presidents Clinton and Obama. She is an icon. I have listened to almost every album she released and know 96.9% of her song lyrics by heart. Her CD, "The Bedroom Tapes" deals with the subject of Carly being diagnosed with breast cancer and her mastectomy. She is a survivor.

I am now 57. She sounds just as good to me now as she did to that young man from the past.
