“We have many, many anchors we can cling to during the dark night of the
soul. Snickers bars. LeBron….Taylor Swift writing a song about her latest
dud boyfriend. Rancid coffee in rural diners. No night life in downtown
Minneapolis on Sunday night….Apple being mean to its rivals. Overpriced
granola. Sting and Bono doing something pretentious. Waiters asking, ‘Is
everything all right…so far?’ Amazon finding new ways to take over the
universe.”—Humor columnist Joe Queenan, “Moving Targets”: A Shout-Out to the
Same Old Same Old,” The Wall Street Journal, Nov. 22-23, 2014
Yeah, I wondered about that part on Taylor Swift. But
it seems that Travis Kelce has only been dating her for a few months—nowhere
near the staying power of others on Elle Australia’s indispensable list of
the singer-songwriter’s boyfriends over the last 15 years.
The long and short of it is: Queenan’s sentence stays.
Let’s see if Mr. Kelce is so lucky.
