Dov Fischer : I would not recognize a Taylor Swift melody or lyric if it hit me in the head.
He says he has lived through the media craze of Britney Spears , Meryl Streep , Dolly Parton , Michael Douglas , Oprah , Martin Short .
Fischer: Stars come and go. The bigger the flash, the smaller the pan in which they get fried.
Some, like Michael Jackson and Jimi Hendrix , Prince and Janis Joplin , Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain , Jim Morrison and even the King ultimately manage to kill themselves.
After 9/11, I needed to hear Toby Keith sing about “ The American Way ” and how we would hit back hard “ Courtesy of the Red , White and Blue’s” I knew then, and now, that our America now paradoxically does not fight “the American Way.” We fight like France and Italy , unable to win, begging others to join us.
With Toby Keith dying, a part of me dies with him.
We will always have his music, but we will never know how much more might he have written and sung.
For me, there is the similarly impactful everlasting music of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach , the deeply moving lyrics of Safam who dried out.
