8 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on My (not so) minor gripe with Taylor Swift’s Grammy speech

Someone I used to work with had the mildly annoying habit of resorting to “motivational” management cliches, and while I tried not to take them seriously they must have made an impact. When I looked at the country music charts this morning, and saw LOCASH‘s “I Love this Life” climbing further into the top 10, Read More
