Baby It's Cold Outside is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
I didn't play it around either kid until this year.
As it is distinctly grate grapey, in TikTock parlance.
We had a woke Millennial parental discussion about consent this past December, and added it to our Christmas Cheer car sing along playlist. We like the Idina Menzel-Michael Buble version.
At some point, I have to trust that they can understand nuance and keep it moving.

I’ve been laughing with people roasting JayZ bc of that Jolene song. No one will convince me Beyonce didn't intend exactly that, either. She's too smart/aware of how this all works. 100%

I haven’t finished the Beyoncé album but so far it doesnt beat Lemonade for me. NOT THAT SHE IS TRYING TO DO THAT, and it might be unfair for me to compare, but omg when Formation came out? I was obsessed. And then the whole album was just perfect to me. I’m not Beyonces #1 fan but that album was my life for a minute.
I’ve been listening to this one as much as I can with my life, but so far I’m not as blown away. I was super into Daughters today until the opera like singing. I feel like there’s little things like that that keep me from LOVING songs. I had another example but I can’t remember anymore lol.
I do understand that it’s probably technically and from a production standpoint an amazing album. My SO’s old bandmate made a post on fb about how he listened expecting to hate it but he had zero criticism and this is a guy who will criticize anything, so I will probably listen again while my son asks to sing CVS by winetka bowling league over and over in the background.

Have we talked about J.LOs backup and demo singer from Jenny from the Block coming out and saying the chorus is her.
Meghan Trainor’s vocals are also on Ain’t your mama.

JLo's not having a good few weeks.
Hope Ben stocked up on coffee and cigarettes.

Ben had a real Jennifer downgrade with JLo. Seriously wonder what his family and friends think of all this. Going from a class act, non diva to the most diva, attention seeker.

This isn’t celeb related but this seems like the right place for it. The Phillies released their city connect uniforms which are the most Philly thing ever. But the comments section is a bunch of fans hardcore hating on the uniforms. Which is also the most Philly thing ever. Cher Eagleshttp://instagram.com/p/C5YfHvlLlBy

Let me see if this works. www.threads.net/@andrewmitchellschaeffer/post/C5WWAaMPXen/?xmt=AQGzZxfmRND2QtZmq_CcQXdIMyAHxYMC2Uz6gXJ3sus2OwETA it doesn't embed but he's responding directly to posts Paul wrote about how much he loves her version. "I am so happy with Beyoncé’s version of my song 'Blackbird'. I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place. I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out. You are going to love it!"

"We were taught not to see skin color."
Okay good for you but it's literally about the Civil Rights Movement and was inspired by images of Black children entering desegregated schools so go off, I guess.

Cher Eagleshttp://instagram.com/p/C5YfHvlLlBy Remember when we talked about how sports fans wouldn’t heckle players kids or whatever? There was recently an athlete saying Philly is the worst bc they always heckle his kids. Every Philly account was just like “welcome to Philadelphia!” “Fuck around and find out!” Etc. etc. We’re just a little mean about everything. It’s who we are.
