rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18758 | (Inspired by Face post) Got any memories of sad songs? Maybe they're still sad now, or maybe not. Best ones are songs so sad, you shed a single tear, and say, "That was sad, and I don't even have a damn dog." at the end of it. Here's one I remember played a lot. And it was kind of well known yet people weren't sure what the title was. If you don't know the name you can try to guess from the lyrics. Spoiler at bottom.

Adele in going to be the first solo singer female billionaire, her talent is that huge. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I remember the rain pouring down And we poured our hearts out As the train pulled up I can see my baby Waving from the train It was last time that I saw him In the summer rain. I'll go years without listening to it, because this part makes me cry. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Madonna has already reached billionaire level. Adele isn't even in the top ten. |

Yeah, no. All those numbers are wildly skewed. Madonna in number one but nowhere near being a billionaire, according to Forbes. "American singer, songwriter, actress and entrepreneur, Madonna has an estimated net worth of $560 million in June 2016, according to Forbes." https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/profile/madonna/&refURL=https://www.google.com/&referrer=https://www.google.com/ If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Probably looks like a good deal at the time, compared to starving. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

The days of Colonel Parker having a lifetime contract over Elvis Presley are long gone. Madonna caps each of her lawyer's incomes at one million dollars; this cuts both ways. |

She's still waaaaay ahead of the relative newcomer Adele. Decades ahead. Adele is a singer. Madonna is a performer. Performers make more. |

Madonna has been around for literally decades, she's almost 60. Adelle has been around a few years. The billionaire prediction is not mine, it's Billboard Magazine's. Take it up with them if you think you know more than they do. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Thing was record companies were always like a VC firm. Lots of srtrikeouts so need many HRs to balance it out. They had to get their end back for the push they gave her and whoever else at the time. The President is a fink. |
