Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single song of hers.

      You probably don’t know which ones are hers, but that’s like saying you’ve never heard a Michael Jackson or Beatles song. They’re everywhere and you’d have to avoid music in public altogether to avoid it, she has songs everywhere.

        I am nowhere though. I don’t go to stores, I don’t drive a car or listen to radio. I don’t watch TV. I suppose a song might have snuck into a film or so, but I don’t recall when I last watched a film.

        I have a hard time being in public, and if I’m solo I’ll generally wear my noise cancelling headphones, otherwise I get all jittery.

        Though I admit that it’s not impossible for me to have heard a song by her. I know a little about her, like how she worked really hard to buy back the rights to her songs. I think she works independently now too?

        Couldn’t name a song by her though.

          You’ve never heard the song “Shake it off” from your fortress of solitude cave on mars?

            Doesn’t ring a bell. Signal is weak here.

            Though! I thought of two songs I’ve heard a little from that I think are by her. One is that stalkerish sounding one with ripped jeans. The other is one where she sings that she’s problematic.

            One is a bit older, but the other is fairly recent. My friend showed me the song because I was confused why “I’m the problem” suddenly became such a common meme.

      If your young, it’s not that difficult to avoid music.

      But she was huge like 20 years ago as a country singer, went to pop, and now makes slightly more grown up pop.

      If you’re over 30 and American you’ve 100% heard one of her songs because radio was still a thing back then.

        I’m glad I wouldn’t really be able to tell if the pop song is hers by just listening to it. But then I stopped listening to pop in high school and radio stations once MP3 players could hold more than 3 grindcore albums at a time.

        Wow. I thought she was about 30? I assume she didn’t start her career as an infant.

          What?

          She’s like 35 and was one of the biggest country singers as a teenager, so about 20 years ago…

          I said “over 30” because you’d have to be at least 10 to remember it, a toddler wouldn’t remember the song on the radio

            I’m not really a radio person. Grew up in a poor family in Sweden, so we never had a car, which is where most listen to radio.

            My sleep addled mind made her out to be like 50 and was really shocked because she don’t look the part. Makes sense if she’s around 35.
