This is the first actual slideshow that I've ever made. It's nothing special really, just a few pictures of the beautiful Neko Case set to her great song "Margaret vs. Pauline".

Lyrics:

Everything's so easy for Pauline

Everything's so easy for Pauline

Ancient strings set feet a light to speed to her such mild grace

No monument of tacky gold

They smoothed her hair with cinnamon waves

And they placed an ingot in her breast to burn cool and collected

Fate holds her firm in its cradle and then rolls her for a tender pause to savor

Everything's so easy for Pauline

Girl with the parking lot eyes

Margaret is the fragments of a name

Her bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake

Of the make-believe monster whose picture was faked

Margaret is the fragments of a name

Her love pours like a fountain

Her love steams like rage

Her jaw aches from wanting and she's sick from chlorine

But she'll never be as clean

As the cool side of satin, Pauline

Two girls ride the blue line

Two girls walk down the same street

One left her sweater sittin' on the train

The other lost three fingers at the cannery

Everything's so easy for Pauline

Woke up with this song playing in my head. Hadn't heard it in a long time. Such a goodun. Every woman/girl feels like Margaret now and then, even Pauline I'll bet.

Amazingly insightful! If you are 13, you are way ahead of your years

Yeah, but 13-year-old girls make up the majority of the music buying public and every single Taylor Swift song is specifically tailored (no pun) to appeal to 13-year-old girls, writing about things they care about in the terms they use (grandiose, Nicholas Sparks-influenced cliches). Her songs read like my seventh grade diary. I suspect Swifts time in the spotlight is growing short. She's reached her pop culture saturation point. Thankfully 13 yr olds are fickle. Just ask the Jonas Brothers.

Thank goodness there are still artists out there that have more depth, soul, and talent than todays "popular artists"

Taylor Swift isn't qualified to carry Neko Cases' guitar.

Taylor Swift could never pull off a song like this, nor could she even dream up such amazing lyrics. I now realize Neko Case is way too smart for the mainstream
