Okay I have to ask. I've googled the "OY VEY", Yes it's from old Yiddish words, but I still don't know what does "OY VEY / VAY" means.
Can someone please educate me?
"Oy vey" is a Yiddish phrase expressing dismay or exasperation. Actually, "Oy vey ist mir" literately translates from Yiddish to English as"Oh, woe is me." Yiddish was the language of Eastern European Jews and it has its origins in German. It's rarely spoken today but certain phrases have become commonly used expressions because there is no better way to express something. Like what word would you substitute for the Yiddish word "schlep" in English? It means to haul or carry something that is heavy or awkward but there is no word in English to really express that. For example: "I was so exhausted after schlepping that package up the steps" creates an image that no one word in English can.

He and Lynne Broyles, his music teacher, appear to have been really close. I remember seeing her interviewed in the documentary from GNT and you could tell how close they were when she teared up talking about him. He mentioned her again in an interview from yesterday or the day before...something about it being her birthday and her influence on him. There's been so many interviews...I can't remember which one it was. There can develop an incredible bond between music students and their private lesson teachers. I felt it with my college violin teacher, and now I'm the teacher. It's lovely. Lynne Broyles at about 5:00. www.dailymotion.com/video/xfq0wn_e-true-hollywood-story-part-1_webcam |

Thanks Q3 what a great explanation...  really helpful.. Adam is doing great,WBR and Adam's team the best  
Yes thank you so much Q3 this helps so much to better understand how all the crazy radio plays work. Z100 posted they think GT could be his biggest hit yet...so that means even bigger then WWFM, & that was a Grammy nomination so very very exciting!! Just one question again curious how it works; if another single comes out in 4-6 wks that would hurt GT's plays, why can't they just play both? I thought some artists had 2 songs being in top 40 at the sametime, like Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, granted he's not @ Taylor's level & not quite at SS's either, so not sure how that works. If they played GT 2x's a day they couldn't also play the new one too. Just thinking of maximum AirPlay getting his name out there. Maybe not true or fair to say but, I think the younger ppl like GT more, I like it but not my top 4 of the album. I think there could be some that would LOVE "TOH" that only "liked" GT but hearing "TOH" might prompt them to purchase the album. Would love to understand timing of 2nd single more. I apologize if you have already discussed & I missed it somehow. You have such a wealth of info. This is why I love this place. Thanks again. |
