Love this conversation! I’m a post-punk Gen X guy, and Swift is not my cup-of-tea , but I definitely appreciate her talents, ever since I heard her great lyric “careless man’s careful daughter.”

Thank you! I love collaborating on this series for many obvious reasons, but getting to talk about music outside of my usual guitar pop wheelhouse is a big one. Hearing music through my kid's ears definitely opened my mind a bit, so it's fun to discuss all of that here.

Absolutely loved this daughter-father perspective on Taylor Swift and "Red".

In general, I'm also a big fan - mostly due to my daughter. So I can relate!

Yep. I love that, not only is she a talented songwriter- she's such a positive influence and role model!

I love the multiple perspectives in this! I also think it's a really special thing when someone finds a musician (or any artist) at a young age that resonates so strongly with them. Very cool!

I totally agree that finding "your music" young is a powerful thing. Thanks for the kind words about this writing project.

I had never heard this song before, but was glad to hear what it means to your daughter and you as well. This is why this series is so cool.
