Taylor Swift doing the right thing
I try to avoid mentioning the so-called stars on this blog, because most of them have nothing of value to add to the discussion. But when they do good, especially when they don’t really have to, I guess I should, that’s why I’m mentioning Taylor Swift. I did notice that she did a really nice video, in regards to the troops, when she did “Ours”;
But this story from Fox News is better. it seems that Cpl Josh Marreel made a YouTube shout-out to Taylor about his friend, Sgt. Wade Wilson, who was killed recently in Afghanistan the video went something like this;
Marreel said in the May 15 video. “I know you have no idea who I am, but this video isn’t about me. This is about my good buddy, Sergeant Wade D. Wilson, who was killed in action Friday, May 11, 2012 in Afghanistan. Anybody that knew Willy knew that he worshipped you. He even slept with a poster of you in between our beds in Afghanistan.
“This guy was my best friend. I know a lot of people get on here and ask celebrities to go to dances with them … All I’m asking is for you to think about him.”
Well, I guess she, or one of her staff saw it and she sent flowers to SGT Wilson’s family with this note;
From KBTX;
Taylor Swift reportedly told the family that she wants to wear Sgt. Wilson’s dog tags in her next video to show her support for his military service. Swift is currently shooting a music video in California.
I have some of her music on my Zune, and I’m going to have some more soon.
Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.

Forgive me for ignoring the obvious great stuff about Taylor Swift (and Bravo to her), but….A Zune? Really? What are you, Amish?
TSO, Jonn couldn’t find an Apple iPod way up thare in his neck of da woods…lol. Careful Lilyea, your gonna end up with some of these here musicians banging on the front door, bro. Telling ya…
You know the musical tastes on this site is very suspect…
Katy Perry, Fresh Beat Band, and Taylor Swift…sad part is that I know songs from all three of them are running through my head at once.
I wouldn’t own an Apple on a bet, mister “I can’t find my 7000 pictures on my Apple computer”.
Zune rocks! Screw you pod people!
Taylor Swift is pure fresh air blowing off virgin glaciers sent from heaven, in the far too often stagnant cesspool of the music industry.
You fight for God and country, I will fight for God and Taylor Swift 🙂
Damn, Medzyk! Tell the world how you really feel, SSG! Hoo..damn…ah!
You youngsters make me feel very, very old this evening. I don’t know what either a Zune or a Taylor Swift are.
But good for Taylor Swift for stepping up. Shows some honor, for a change, coming from a celeb.
That is awesome. Damnit… there must be dust in here.
Read this yesterday on MSN’s hollywood page, Wonderwall. They said she promised to wear his “army” dog tags. Needless to say, I got an unintentional laugh out of their ignorance. Aside from that, she’s doing a good thing.
The music industry could learn a lot from Taylor. Despite being catapulted into fame she has maintained her strong integrity. Even when wronged she still maintains her gracious maturity. Now if only she could get the rest to believe the world does not revolve around them and their trendy sweat shop produced Che shirts as proof of their self proclaimed ‘dissidence.’
Dang. That young lady is a class act!
Classy, real classy!
I also vouch for the Zune-my 60gb has been fantastic and I plan on holding on to it as long as possible (whew-there’s still some of us left!)
Not being a worshiper at the alter that is Apple, when my Zune eventually does go, I’ll search for anything not.
Ms. Swift is a class act.
C-
I dumped my iPod for my DroidX. I keep all my music on my phone nowadays…..
Nice story. Zune……ha ha. I had to google it.
8gb Sansa Player.
Course everything is now on my smart phone.
Which is WAY smarter than I am.
Purchased a cabled combo headphones and phone mic setup.
Have to be careful which button I hit to hang up.
Otherwise, Grand Funk Railroad Double Live Album starts up in the middle of a call.
Downloading Ms. Swift’s music right now! She is good to go! God Bless SGT Wade D. Wilson.
