The performance of the third song--"I Love You" by Billie Eilish--is especially terrific. Other comparisons here in terms of performance artist would be Flaming Lips, Nikki Minaj or Prince. Thanks for introducing me to her. She looks pretty darned great to me.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-38740325745962486292019-09-14T06:57:28.672-04:002019-09-14T06:57:28.672-04:00My generation of girls is still asleep in the hous...My generation of girls is still asleep in the house, so I'm not going to turn on the music yet. But thank you for posting this, and I'm excited to hear her. I, too, had never heard of Billie Eilish. <br /><br />Bride and I were in Nashville a couple of nights ago, and we went for a quick supper at Vandy-steeped San Antonio Taco Company. I got all hot and bothered that the music playing in a cheap-tacos/buckets-of-beer/sit-out-on-the-deck-in-the-sun college place was classic rock that was already classic rock by the time we were in high school in the early 1980s. And it wasn't even that they were playing it only for middle-aged "SATCo" nostalgics like Bride and me--the kids working in the place and around the tables were actually singing along, every word, to most every song. The worst for my wife because it really ramped up my private-performance-for-her diatribe was when Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night" came on; this is <i>literally</i> the song that I've heard Michael Stipe cite as the one thing that he and the other R.E.M. members agreed upon when they were first getting together and deciding what they were going to not be (and before the planning progressed to what they were going to be).<br /><br />So, anyway, I'm excited and relieved to be introduced to the Billie Eilish craze, and I look forward to hearing what the fuss is about.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-60411082491972871742019-09-13T22:45:29.240-04:002019-09-13T22:45:29.240-04:00One thing I'll add which I didn't realize ...One thing I'll add which I didn't realize is that Billie Eilish is only 17. So this success so young is quite impressive. Now I'm even more curious to see how she does. Maybe she'll be the Taylor Swift for this generation of girls.Matthew Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349035708120354682noreply@blogger.com
