I have a friend who loves this man's songs. I have never listened to any of this man's songs. This is not surprising because honestly I have a lot to learn about music. If she'd stuck with him for just TWO MORE WEEKS I was going in to explore the catalogue. Now I must meditate. I must reflect. What shall I do now? Maybe it's time to finally watch "9 to 5" instead. Thank you for this prayerful spiritual essay.

I mean I’ll admit I listened to The 1975 in 2013, but beyond that? I don’t think. Cleanse yourself from him! Do not fall into his temptation!

Thank you for talking me through this Meecham because tbh I was on the edge of doing it but it felt like…I have so many other gaps in my musical education, and also in my life! I haven’t even heard Janelle Monae’s first two albums, why am I wasting time on a MATTY? Therapy isn’t til tomorrow, thanks for doing triage.

Not this being how I find out how Anna Shay is no longer with us! 😭You are my only news source that I trust! I really hope someone makes a film or documentary of her life! I often say her iconic quote "You only get one shot. It's not a dress rehearsal" R.I.P Queen 💕🙏🏿💕🙏🏿💕💕

Thank you! I’m not gonna lie—the first album 1975 they released in 2013 was great if you were in your early 20s just living life without a care in the world—and he’s NEVER been hot, but those are the end of your slumming it years, so why not. She’s 34 though. Let us pray this is the last you’ll hear about him!
