Wildcard Wednesday Taylor Swift CD and the Power of Advertising in the Right Place at the Right Time

 

Taylor Swift CD 1989 and the power of advertising in the right place at the right time.


This CD consists of great singalong songs on it. This CD explores a break up and moving on, with songs including Bad Blood, and Shake It Off.


In November 2015 we embarked on a Transatlanic trip to California and this some of what happened during the time we were there.


We were in San Francisco and were dining at the Hard Rock Café on pier 39, when the song ‘Shake it off’ was played accompanied with the music video. During an enjoyable meal, the song was a good and catchy song to listen to and watch.


After a great time in San Francisco, we then flew down to Los Angeles. The first night we arrived, we dined at another Hard Rock Café on Hollywood Boulevard, where we heard the song and again see the video.


We then proceeded with our holiday, opting to get around by public transport and the occasional taxi ride. We got lost on the first full day there, which resulted in us – me and my husband – being on edge getting to and from places for the rest of the holiday. Once we were at the destinations, we had a great time and see some amazing sights but it was always in the back of our minds that we may struggle to get back and because people came from out of town to work, asking directions wasn’t the best option.


During that last day of the holiday, we went to Universal Studios’ city walk where again we heard ‘Shake it off’ and see the video on a large screen outside yet another Hard Rock Café. After a quick and thankfully easy subway ride, we were back on Hollywood Boulevard where we opted to eat at the Hard Rock Café for second and last time on our LA part of the holiday. The song was played and again the video was shown. The next day we flew home and pleased to be home without the risk of getting lost.


I had good and bad memories of our holiday and one of the good memories was hearing Taylor swifts ‘Shake it off’ as listening to the song brought back the sense of a nice atmosphere on a holiday that turned out to be more difficult than expected. As a result, I purchased the CD, 1989, after seeing an advert on the TV and remembering the happier times on our holiday.


Just goes to show that the power of advertising in the right place at the right time.


Thank you for reading

  I thought the same. So, where is she? If Lovejoy (Ian McShane) says ‘He will get one’ I suppose he will. I suppose, I would say, it depends on what you paid for a painting a nice ‘Fake’ at a fake price is fine, but if you pay a genuine price tag, then you could be out of pocket/at a loss. A mother is a mother so that covers all. A chain is forming. I am glad he was ‘Word perfect’ With a compliment to Lovejoy, not that ‘Old’ then. All these rhetorical questions. These are amusing to hear. ‘George?’ so funny. A coincidence, the same outfit, oh dear. Sweet.  Oh, for the best, Ibelieve. ‘Closed’. That is good. Oh that, well at least the deal was done.

Fun Friday Love Knots Lovejoy

  It is nice to hear about the history of a collectible antique as we very rarely get to know where or why things are as they are. I really feel for Jane (Phyllis Logan) and it is sad that Alex (Pavel Douglas) is saying all the wrong things. Also I agree he should be around more for her to ask. That was good timing. I do feel for Jane it is horrible to watch. Just as Tinker (Dudley Sutton) was talking about travelling in his dreams . i thought of the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries) did most of his travelling through daydreaming and all of sudden Tinker spots a character in the auction room called Potts (Tony Caunter). This is a completely surprising coincidence. Now we hear Tinker talk about the interesting messages left and things are getting heated in the auction room. I don’t like that he stopped bidding either, it is disappointing to watch. That is a big dog. So funny poor Lovejoy (Ian McShane) sit down. That is one spoilt dog and that is an u...

Fun Friday Eric Of Arabia Lovejoy

  It is an eye opener and quite true, can something be classed as original when parts have been replaced due to wear and tear?. This part reminded me of the TV program Only Fools And Horses with David Jason. Where the character Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) was going to get an award for having the same broom whilst working. This would have been fine if he hadn’t revealed that the broom had had so many new heads and so many new handles. Lovejoy’s (Ian McShane) take on this is not quite so amusing but works for the episode. This bike business is now getting amusingly action packed and cringingly dubbed. What a find. Very useful.  Not the music again. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for reading Sandra
