Does Sweet Baby James really need that much exposure?

Ezra writes that the Sunday Globe Magazine cover story on James Taylor pretty much sums up everything that's wrong with the magazine. Especially the cover photo and the long paragraph about Taylor singing "Kumbaya" to his twins while he and the author sup on poached salmon, soba noodles, bok choi and spring rolls as the kids try to snap off the writer's nose before Taylor shepherds them on a trip to Seiji Ozawa's pool.

Ed. note: Not being a Taylor fan, I didn't read the article, but my first thought on seeing the cover was "Oh, geez, wouldn't that be something if it turned out that was poison ivy he's lying in?"

We took the sunday papers out for brunch, and I could have done without the picture of Taylor's big, gnarly toes while I ate. (I switched mags so I could see Dr. Dean's crooked grin instead.)

JT's fans will keep his

JT's fans will keep his career afloat forever, testimonial to the sad state of American emotional health -- the guy's wussy music is like a salve to those losers.
