Nice mellow tunes? Or kind of lame?
fuck you.
I've got a soft spot for some good James Taylor, he has a pretty distinct sound, and it fills a certain vibe on occasion and my wife and I's first dance was to "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)". That said, there is a time and place for it.
He also got kicked out of my high school for selling weed, so he has at least a little street cred.
When I was first starting to ski I’d stay at my buddy’s place at Sunday River. His parents always played JT, so now I automatically associate his music with skiing.
Plus he saved that shuttle mission
James is prolific. Like it or not. The music of my youth that I still listen to all the time. One of my first ever concerts was in 96 at Mann in Philly. So good.
Up until she was 5 or so, I’d sing Sweet Baby James to my daughter every night as a bedtime lullaby. She had the band at her wedding play it for the father-daughter dance. So, yeah, JT has a place in my heart.

We’ll see if that does any good. The real answer is for the mods to ban his ass. No one would miss him.
Yep. To a nice, handsome, rich guy.Quote:

Anyways my parents ended up taking my older siblings to Beatles concerts and Doors and Hendrix and by the time the 70s rolled around they were a little more lax in the parenting . They heard JT (and the GD) and figured its a show for kids.
Do parents still drop kids off at concerts?
hell yeah.Quote:

You can't get street cred for anything associated with Milton. But maybe getting kicked out brought him up close to zero.Quote:

fuck you.
That's seriously beautiful. But hold up. You look AWFUL familiar. You weren't by chance a ski instructor at Taos back in the late 90s/early 00s were you? Perhaps one who dabbled in tele?Quote:

Was on the covers of both Time and Newsweek in the same week.
Got to bang Carly Simon when she was Uber hot
My mom bought tickets to see him last summer and I joined her.
Always enjoyed his music. He put on a great show. Really cool old historic photos on the big screen, lots of stories told. The crowd was a little stuffy, but you can see it in their eyes, boomers checking off the last items on their bucket lists, lots of nostalgia. His story is pretty incredible, worth a read. He seems reasonably humble considering, and he’s smart enough to bring top notch hired guns on the road with him.
Was on a Grand Canyon 21 day private trip (92?). Nat Geo was filming a special on Martin Litton and his dories and history & JT was a passenger on their trip. At Redwall Cavern we were stopped to do the usual check it out thing and have lunch. The Nat Geo crew stopped to film him playing and singing and a buddies wife from our group asked him to sign her river axe. He obliged and seemed like a pretty low key & nice person.
WHOO HOO HOO did you live in Basalt, CO for a while mid 90s??Quote:

But it was fun hanging out a few times.
Crazy ass life for someone who, through his music, seems to be easy going and laid back (he's not - have seen him yelling at people on set during rehersals). His life was full of health issues, an abusive father, drugs (codeine and opium followed by a heroin and methadone addiction). Accidents. Amazing he's still alive and kicking.
Meadow Skipper or James Taylor?Quote:
