Damn, James Taylors voice hasn't aged much at all has it?

[ET Awful]

He doesn't sound at all different from decades ago.

[Catch22Dem]

1. No, it's still wonderful

Everyone who takes that stage tonight is a patriot!

[tjdee]

2. He and Paul Simon, the most soothing voices ever.

The two of them, it's like they always sound like silk.

[Bake]

3. Still smooth as silk and sweet as honey!

Sweet Baby James!!

4. Thanks for reminding me! I was on Football...

[Misunderestimator]

5. I love James Taylor's politics ... But I really hate his music

It's so lame...

[ET Awful]

8. Anyone that hates James Taylors music just has no appreciation

for truly masterful acoustic guitar work and songcrafting.

[Misunderestimator]

12. LOL... But it's so insipid... I just can't get over that.

[ET Awful]

14. Insipid? Nothing insipid about it, they're all just very personal songs

Not unlike any other singer songwriter in that regard :).

[ronnykmarshall]

6. I love his voice.

He and Carly also have two very talented children.

[ET Awful]

7. What a great blurb. . .

I hate it when they say don't change horses midstream. When the horse is drowning and is in way over his head,you didn't want to cross the stream in the first place and there's a perfectly good Democratic mule standing over there ;) :) :)

9. I love JT ...

I went to an outdoor concert of his once that lasted nearly three hours. His voice never wavered, and he didn't even seem tired. And none of the crowd was tired.

I think this is the first time I've truly appreciated these fancy speakers I bought for my computer.

10. Did anyone see his picture in Rolling Stone couple issues ago?

A young James building his house. My wife and her sister took a good long look.

[shoopnyc123]

11. Okay, Dixie Chicks and James; MAJOR LUMP in throat!

[RockaFowler]

16. What a Beautiful Blend of Voices

They could release Shower Thee People and it would be a big hit. This is a great version. Natalie ROCKS

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. James Taylor's voice is like a fine wine....

And his lyrics are wonderful, too. Ahhhh, Fire and Rain.

[Tom_Foolery]

15. My wife and I went to see James Taylor on our first date...

we went to see him a second time and I asked her to marry me during Shower The People.

[saltpoint]

17. And rockaye Sweet Baby James...

Taylor's voice is sublime. He's a musician who still composes music, rehearses it, and sings it as if it mattered as much to some anonymous listener as it does to him.

He's tops. And he's a Democrat, too.

[maveric]

18. His hair may have departed a while ago but his voice and guitar work

are still as crisp as they were 35 years ago.

[Bluebear]

19. Long ago and far away....

(Man, it seems like yesterday.)


Long ago a young man sits
and plays his waiting game.
Things are not the same it seems
as in such tender dreams..

Slowly passing sailing ships
and Sunday afternoons.
Like people on the moon I see
are things not meant to be!

Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
These are the dreams I've dreamed, my friend.
Loving the love I love to--

Love is just a word I've heard
when things are being said.
Stories my poor head has told me.
Cannot stand the cold.

And in between what might have been
and what has come to pass,
a misbegotten guess alas
and bits of broken glass.

Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is the song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed, my friend?
Loving the love I love to love
to love to love to love....

Oh no no no no
