Waldorf Astoria, NYC, 10/28/09 ICG, "Pursuit of Peace" Gala honoring President William J. Clinton, President George H.W. Bush and former Lebanese Prime Minister Issam M. Fares
Please, you must sing this song again and again until they can understand. One by one, our hope´s depositaries take the wrong way: Clinton first and Obama now, and who will be next? But, please sing this beautiful song, this is our only hope.......
James, James! What a mistake to think that these people and the Clintons are in anyway peacemakers. Stay away from this James, for it is foreign to you and what you do best.
His voice is always incredible. Few others in rock or folk can compare, maybe Paul Simon is a similar talent. In other words, even a bad Taylor or Simon song is a good song!
James...you are a musical jewel - polished and perfect in what you have given to us. No other artist existed who was like you prior to your first album and for that I consider you a genius. I'm happy that you have stuck with strictly who you are (musically) & not tried to give us songs that are not "you". I have my favorites as does everyone. I know of what I speak. If you want a listen, google Allus Cats and click.
Simply marvelous James.

If I close my eyes...just as pristine the sounds as if sung on a CD in stereo...this song is very very moving. That's doggone James Taylor.
