we didn't know we were gonna have to do this for

messaged him while we were eating at Callahan's and I said, Dave,
call in quick.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
And instead of calling, he sent me a message. So
he said, I've been running around. You caught me off
guard that you're recording so early. Well, if it's not
too late, but I just had a couple of things
to say. Instead of calling. I was gonna say, I'm
glad Gretchen is with you guys, because she's a fun
interview and I enjoy her answers and just being on
the podcast. And I just want to tell you that

(03:17):
young guy, oh uh, Charlie Kirk from Utah was a
big he did his podcast up there and was a
what did he say? A duck fan. So anyway, so
there's a so sorry Dave that we didn't get the
phone call, but we did get your message.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
While we're eating dinner. Uh he could have, he could have,
but he didn't.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Okay, So hello dear Cardisan Todd Jeffrey here. I hope
that you two are doing well, And as I'm doing
fairly well at the moment. And now it is almost
autumn or fall as you Yanks call it, we call
it both. I really adore the autumn, the cold, crisp air,
the falling and decaying leaves seam and the wood smoke,

(04:06):
and then comes the winter, and with that comes Christmas.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I do hope it will snow this year. The script
I'm writing this letter in is called a starter what
I started language. It's a form of Italics, which is
very formal script.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
It was invented in the Renaissance, and I find it
very elegant and very It's easier to read too.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I'm just say it looks way different than his normal letters.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
But it also takes more time to write because it
has written letter for the letter. I'm still learning it,
and as hard as it looks, but I will get
the hang of it.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Hosana, What does that mean, Hassana? Hassana? Was Hawsina mean, Jeffrey,
when you get this letter, I will be on the podcast.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
I will be on the podcast. I do hope it
was a success. It was most sincerely your.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
When you get this letter, I will be on the podcast. Well,
we didn't get it.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I think that's what he means that he would have
been already. Yeah, I think I think that's so. Thank you, Jeffrey.
I don't think i've ever have you handwritten him a letter?
Grete Okay, I don't think I've like I've sent him
like cards and stuff, But I don't think i've like
handwritten a letter.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I'll send him cards, but I handwrite in the cards.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
But you haven't like written like he does like a letter.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Letter.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Well, but then I think once or twice I had
to add a piece of paper to it.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well, what counts. Well, thanks Jeffery, we appreciate you. And
then I got an email from mister Michael Norris who
won the trivia question, and he says he told me
which T shirt he wanted. He says, I really really
appreciate you and Todd. The live podcast with Trivia is
the highlight of each month. Thank you. I'm holding on

Hey, that's the first time we've done that.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's kind of scary. But you could always go in
and edit. I guess if they said something we think
they might not want to on the air.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
We have to think about that.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Am I the only one who's who's what?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
My My earphones has got super loud when you unplug that,
and now I like hear myself far far away, but
I hear you guys really loud?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Is that better?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Hello? Hello?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I continue it down a little bit that better?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Did something rattle rattle her cord or something?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Your microphone or your headset.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
The headset, my headset, like when you unplug Steve. All
of a sudden, my this got really loud and it
sounds like I'm well, no, I'm not really far away
from the mic anymore, but it's like really loud on
my earphones cheap too. So the toilet that doesn't work,
it works, it does.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
We got a little technical difficulty going on here, and
that's all on videos.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Also, the AC quit running while we were out.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
It did not quit.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
I'm super serious, it's not making it. It sounded like
a machine gun, like super loud, and now it's I
promise you. When I went back in.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
There, well, I might not be. I might just be
moving her into Bellow's bedroom.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
And stood, oh that, or don't put a toilet in
you just yet? Hang on, stop stop the presses.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I will deal with that afterwards.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Okay, so it's back in eating in Oklahoma. Uh do
you want to have we done? I guess we can
talk more about your adventures and Enid on Buzzhead Radio. Sure,
since they're not really so much anything you want to
bring up about the seventies before we talk about our
subject of the evening.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Well, my brain has been full of the subject of
the evening. Okay, so I haven't had room for any
other thoughts.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
We'll go with that.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Then.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
So what Todd and I want to know is do
you like James Taylor or do you not like?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
You really need to know that.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I think the audience wants to know because they want
to hear it from your lips to their ears.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, because you guys have been lying about it the
whole the whole reason.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Talk about carmel over there. Actually she's getting into her
goodie bag or a bag of trick. I say, caramel, Yes,
we got caramels.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
No, no, no, you don't have any caramel. I'm giving
you guys caramel, a little bag of caramels for each
of you. Those are all hair ramelt.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Any guys here, it's like it's like Halloween in here.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's they don't want to I mean, I need one
of mine right now?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Is that a what do they call them? Black cat?
A cat? What do you call them? Cowtails?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Cowtails?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, so we got video going. So we got some
uh sugar sugar daddies and cowtails. And then what's the
other one?

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Caramel? Cream?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
A caramel?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
What?

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Nope? Wrong?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
How many one of those so it may get a
little you may have to do all the talking.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, take it away, I'll talk a while you guys
chew right in the microphones.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
With your hey watching the studio on fire.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
So these caramel creams, I think we're around in the sixties,
and definitely I ate them in the eighties and also
the nineties up until now. Oh really, however, the best
decade for caramel for No, the best decade for caramel
was the seventies.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Because that yes, it was scared to crap it everyone
we're talking about Paul.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I think she. I think she become possessed.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Ok, good, thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Which one did you eat? The same one I did?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
They were pretty good, real good. Wonder what that metal
part is cream?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Hence the name caramel cream.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
It didn't say carmel queen cream.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
It didn't know. It doesn't. It says caramel cream.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
The caramel queen queen cream.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Calma climen.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, I'm glad, I got some tea. I'm thirsty.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Thank you. That's great, awesome. Why is my thing going
off over here?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Okay, see now I've forgotten. Did you answer the question
or not about James Taylor?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
No, I did not I started to you're.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Assuming that the audience knows the answer to that is that.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Okay, So here's what Here's what happened. You said it
was you used your big word of the day last time, serendipitous.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh I did.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Whoever? Was it Dave or somebody said that you'd never
use that? No, I guess it was Stayton who said
you'd never use that word before someone said you never
used that.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Everybody said it, but.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
It wasn't serendipitous. That was what started the whole thing.
Was that back in like March or April, when I
called in, I was pissed because it was like my
third near miss of having it going to a James
Taylor concert. The first one wasn't like I don't know,

(14:49):
twenty ten, eleven twelve, something like that, where he was
at the Ronal Civic Center one night only my freaking birthday.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well that's the night you should have gone.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Right, But I couldn't afford too There was a way
I could go. So that was and then our choir
director Janice had the nerve because she and her husband went.
So she had the nerve at the next choir practice
to wear her.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
James ouch that hers.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Really mean, like, so, what do you call it? Passive
aggressive James Taylor, May twentieth twenty, whatever it feels like,
Thanks Janie, go ahead, Reuben, I'm gonna swing off cage
just for you.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
And then then I heard that he was coming again
to the Roan Oaks Civic Center June twenty.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Sixth, of which.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Year twenty twenty. So would have been able maybe to
go to that one. However, twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
That's five years a.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Look at you and everything, look at you, math and
like a champ?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
What like a champ?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Laughing?

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Math? No mathing, oh, mathing, mathing subtraction without even having
to like write it down to hard.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
That's why we got them calculators.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
And then so I was then I was bitching about
it because when I left my message, I was like,
here's my third near miss. I'm coming in September because
that's when you invited me to come in September. And
I saw that he was having his concert and I
was like, damn it, that's probably going to be the
week that I'm here flying into the exact town where
he is.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh yeah, you flew. So so if you guys don't
know James Taylor is literally I would say he's probably
in Tulsa right now, probably probably because tomorrow he's like. So,
we're in Enid doing a podcast episode. You know what
had been cool? I know the guy that's the general

(16:44):
manager of the Bok Center where he's playing.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Don't say something that could have been don't do that
to me.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
I could have got him to get him on the phone,
and we could have had him on the podcast. Oh man,
how cool would that have been?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, how cool would that have been?

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Dang?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Thanks for making it worse.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
URTIs, How can we make it better?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Todd?

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Thanks for rubbing it in even more. Give me the
caramels back.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
You know you don't want that?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Go ahead, Taylor, No, you tell her, you tell her?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh me, Taylor? Yeah, okay, So we thought about we
thought about surprising you, but we had a podcast to do,
so we couldn't go. So we moved the podcast to
Monday night so we can go to James Taylor tomorrow night. Lion, Nope,

(17:34):
Am I lying?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Here go, buddy, Gretchen is going to James Taylor in
Tulsa tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Denise is fine, No, she actually did get sick.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Today, but no, there's no doctor's appointment. So you're going
to James Taylor tomorrow. Yeah, that's why we're doing the
podcast tonight. I would show you my tickets, but they're
on the phone and I can't share it, so we're filming.
So yeah, you're going to James Taylor tomorrow night. Finally
after all these years.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
But I hate James him.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
See, okay, you can stay here.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
The three of us are going.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, all three of you, one two three. She's a
big she's a vomit bag with her.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Well, if she's better, she's going.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
True.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I think she'll be better. She seemed better this afternoon
than she did this morning.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
So so anyway, so not pregnant.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
She No, that's a little impossible. Impossible. So as soon
as she gets off work tomorrow, we got a load
up in head, so we are going to the contract.
It's at seven or seven thirty and there's like a

(18:53):
opening act, so we should be there and plenty of time,
whether we get there for the first song of the
opening act or not, which I think we still will.
To our drive, we leave it five. We should be there. Fine.
Are you good with that? Are you cool?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
I'm still comprehending.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Are we fooling or are we not fooling?

Speaker 3 (19:13):

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Wendy. Who's Wendy?

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Her friend at work? She called in, She called in
the one one time after I came back last time?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Was she right about.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Because she was like, Oh, they're probably totally going to
take you to the James Taylor concert. And I was like, No,
that's not a thing.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Did you Did you wonder when we changed the podcasting night?

Speaker 3 (19:37):
No, because I wouldn't even I can't even imagine.

Speaker 2 (19:40):

Speaker 1 (19:43):
The Facebook Live. We weren't going to tell you we
were doing the podcast on a different nine till just
today last minute, but he said something on Facebook Live
and I was going to reach over there and pop you,

Oh cool, and I I'll go film fast. He's gonna
open with wandering. Then I'm a road runner, walking man,
stretch of highway, Jump up behind me, my traveling star, Mexico,
Carolina in my mind, only a dream in Rio, up

(21:56):
on the road, the Frozen Man. We've got a friend,
sweet baby, James fin Iron Rain. I've got to stop
thinking about that. Shed a little light shower the people,
your smiling face, and then he's going to leave the stage.
We're all going to scream and yell. He's going to
come back and he's going to do stream roller blues.
How sweet it is. And you can close your eyes

(22:17):
with Henry Taylor.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
That's his son. He's going to be there to mention
him in My Little You already did.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Now. I can't guarantee that this is the set list
that he's been using at his prior concerts on this tour,
so that's what he should stick to.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
We're hoping nothing from Never Die Young, Well, nothing from
Never Day Young. That's it. I'm not going bummer.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Really, not one of those songs. No, Well, maybe he
didn't like the album as much as.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
You like his best album ever. Well, listen to it
in my car. I know it by heart.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Well, when we go backstage and you get to meet him,
complaint just kidding, just get.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Really, I really do know the general manager of the
Bok Center. I probably should have. I thought about contacting
him a see if there was any VIP meet and greets,
and but the problem is we're not getting there until
he's probably already behind the stage, so we just didn't
have time.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Curtison never do anything nice for me, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
So anyway, there's your set list. We'll be listening to
Tomori for some.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Of those are from the seventies because I recognize them.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of them.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, okay, so it's your go with it. What do
you know about James Taylor? What do you got?

Speaker 3 (23:34):
So you're going to have to read from my little
report that I made here.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Show right ahead. We're good with that.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
You have a report.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, that's what I texted him when you guys like
just dropped that bomb on the podcast? What two three
weeks ago? Two weeks ago?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, I guess yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
And then all I did I was getting ready for work.
It was super early in the morning, and it was
an hour early for you, but I knew you were up,
and I just texted a little shocked face avatars avatar
to Curtis and I went, wait what And he knew
exactly what I meant, and he just texted back yep.

(24:09):
And I said, I feel like I feel like I'm
in like sixth grade and I have to I have
like two weeks to get read the entire book, do
get the book report ready, and do an oral book
report in front of the class.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
At least you had two weeks. We only have one week.
We only have a couple.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
We don't have a week one day.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
He probably didn't feel any of the pressure that I felt.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
No, we don't feel any pressure. We've been doing it
so long. We just and again remember we are not
a history podcast.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, the things I wrote down a pretty much spot on,
I'd say, I mean, I didn't like I said, I didn't.
I missed a whole lot, but lay it on us. Okay,
So the first thing I'm going to say is, so
I found this one really interesting fact when he did

(25:06):
an interview for a very niche sort of magazine called
Singers and Sweets, and he did this interview on the
June twenty third, nineteen seventy seven interview, and he was
passionately discussing his disdain and discuss for people who pronounce
it carmel.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Oh really.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Really interesting, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm gonna have to look that one up. Got any
more Carmel over there talking about that?

Speaker 3 (25:34):
And it was June twenty third of twenty of really
seventy seven. Another real coincidence of your favorite year and
the day of your first podcast ever.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm another Carmel because.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Of that stock car.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
James Taylor h.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I wonder, I wonder if I could get a hold
of Keller. I tell Keller to tell James Tayler to
call it Caramel on stage during the concert. I may try.
I got time.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
I see a bunch of I see a bunch of
famous people call it Carmel, and I'm like, man, And
then you wake up to record that.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, seriously, I've already I've got I've got it. I
recorded Ghosts and Hetty says Caramel Duff Goldman. That's the
two that I posted Caramel.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I think you might be a little obsessed with it.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Maybe we need an episode the whole episode on words
that people say, Oh yeah, I wonder if there's a
whole bunch of them from the seventies.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Probably specifically from the seventies. Barricles from the seventies.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, nobody's going to get that one. That's kind of
an inside joe, you kind of have to know. Yeah, man,
I'm on.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
A sugar rush right now, just from that three pieces.
I'm on my third piece.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
You guys are lightweights.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
I had two pieces of carmel. I'm doing good, but
my teeth are all doctors.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I can handle a whole lot more sugar than that.
You guys.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh yeah, we're good, We're good.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Continue.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Okay, So I'm just gonna read this.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Read it, okay, but don't read it like a robot.
Read it like a human.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
I was gonna do it all like monotone and like
AI and I might have a couple issues because even
when I was trying to furiously trying to copy my
sloppy copy over because I could barely even read it,
I messed up. And like it's it's messy.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
It does look a bit messy.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, this is like pretty bad right here. Okay, okay, okay.
James Vernon Taylor was born in Boston on March twelfth,
nineteen forty eight. His father's name was Isaac, and he
was a physician, and he became the dean of the
UNC School of Medicine from nineteen sixty four to nineteen

(28:00):
seventy one. But she didn't know.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
That James Taylor was a dean of medicine.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Keep up his dad, Isaac, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Know James Taylor was in medicine anyway.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Go ahead, okay. His mother's name was Gertrude Woodard Taylor,
and she studied singing at the New England Conservatory of Music,
and she was an aspiring opera singer until she met
Isaac and then got married.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Because opera singers can't be married.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Did you know that I did evidently in the forties probably, Yeah, honestly,
stay home, have babies.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah. Well if they she hadn't, we wouldn't have James,
so right, So.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Thanks, Gertrude lost my place. Okay. So he is of
English and Scottish descent, a lot of stuff. I bet
you didn't know he had an ancestor. Has an ancestor
whose name was Edmund Rice. He was an English colonist

(29:00):
who co founded the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts. Oh really
honest and true. He was basically born into a well
off and well educated family, had older brother named Alex,
younger siblings named Kate, Livingstone, and Hugh, and they're all

(29:20):
musicians except for Hugh basically now owns a B and
B in Massachusetts with his wife. This is where I
started getting messy. Most of his childhood he spent in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, from nineteen fifty one on, and
he basically when he was little. He was started singing

(29:45):
and playing the cello early on in his childhood, and
his dad encouraged his musical efforts. But his dad also
battled alcoholism, which caused turmoil in his family, and that
had a profound effect on and it contributed later on
to his addiction and depression issues later in life. This

(30:09):
is where I said I had to move all this down. Okay,
wait minute, I got this. I got this so okay.
Oh his parents were both atheists.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh wow, that is.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Sad, and they divorced when James was a teen and
his dad was a drunk, which probably had something to
do with the divorce and the turmoil. Oh I think
I said that already and had something to do with
nineteen ninety three when his older brother Alex died and
it was likely from alcoholism. Oh wow, very sad, okay.

(30:45):
He was in various bands as a teen, including one
that was called Jamie and Cooch and in nineteen sixty
three in Martha's Vineyard. And he was also in various
boarding schools and a rehab called Austin Riggs in nineteen
sixty eight and a place called McClain in nineteen sixty five,

(31:09):
and Livington and Kate his younger siblings. They both were
students and patients there too.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Why was he a patient in.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Rehab because of all the turmoil and he.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Had depression and extradictions issues.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yeah, we'll pay attention. I told you when just a
few minutes ago.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I always posting pictures of you on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Sorry, go ahead, thanks. So when he when he was
eighteen years old in nineteen sixty six, he moved to
New York City to pursue his music, and he actually
signed with Apple Records because through his friend Danny Kurtchner,

(31:55):
who was coach of Jamie and Cooch. Are you keeping up? Okay?
He introduced him to a guy named Peter Asher who
was a mutual friend of Paul and George the Paul
and George and played a demo for them, which basically
led to his nineteen sixty eight debut album on Apple Records.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
And do you know what that made him the first
non English artist to be signed by the Beatles Apple Records. Well,
look at you see.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
See I didn't get that part. There's so much I
didn't get. But there was limited success as far as
that debut album on account of the rehab at Austin Riggs.
But he wrote Fire and Rain there while he was
at Austin Riggs and he was only twenty years old.
So the first verse of Fire and Rain talks about

(32:51):
when he says, like, just yesterday morning they let me
know you were gone, Susanne. The plan we made that
was his friend, his childhood friend, Suzanne Schnurr, had died.
She had committed suicide. So that's what that was about.
And then the second verse was basically based on him
arriving in London with a monkey on his back being heroin.

(33:16):
And then when he talks about sweet dreams and flying
machines and pieces on the ground, that was actually talking
about the breakup of his band, James Taylor and the
Original Flying Machine.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I'm a place in the background.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's probably my favorite song.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
This is one of my favorites. That's when he plays
it at every concert. I know that one. I'm trying
to find that. I scribbled more on here, so I'm
trying to find it and I'm kind of.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah. So basically, the song's not about just one thing.
It's about three separate right.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Third verse. Oh, and the third verse was about him
recouping at Austin Riggs. So it's like a really deeply
personal song. Let's see, what's this I wrote on the side.
The stuff that I'm telling you now is from a
nineteen seventy two Rolling Stone article that he was telling

(34:18):
about like how he wrote these songs and everything. So Carolina,
in my mind, this is really interesting, and I wrote
it's so messy. Oh, Paul and George, which, for any
of you who are completely ignorance, Paul McCartney and George
Harrison actually guessed it on that song, and George is uncredited.

(34:45):
And that's when he sings the line holy host of
others standing around me. Now he's talking about the Beatles,
because he recorded that album at Trident Studio the same
time that they were recording the White album, So they
that's why they were so involved.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
What song was that?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Caroline in my mind?

Speaker 2 (35:09):
How come I don't have it on my list?

Speaker 1 (35:11):
How could you not have it on your list?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Did you not have Carolina? In my mind? He had
one of the best songs ever.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Honestly, I don't because this is all alphabetic order I had.
I thought I had every song.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Se not k just f y I I don't.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
I don't have that.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
It was Carolina in my mind. It was playing when
you were when you had the stuff the playlist playing
today in here definitely was on the plane.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I was downloading music, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
And he wrote that in Spain when he met when
he met someone named Karen, which is why he sings
Karen sees a song. That whole thing the Silver Son
uh same time White album blah blah blah tried in studios.
Oh and so his song that there it is, you

(36:09):
have it?

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I do know he went and found it.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Yeah, while ago, when you were sitting over here playing
with your phone, and I was over there busting my butt.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Getting that song was playing. I'm like I was like,
what's I thought, what's the name of that song? It's
got to be Caroline on my mind or in my mind?
And I was like, well, it's not in the season.
By then I was down to the k's nails.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
And MS just put it in ks like maybe we
get to hear that, like tomorrow night swee.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Okay, I'll try to keep up.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
So the song Something in the Way She Moves, Yeah,
looks my way calls my name, that one that provided
the lyrical starting point for Georgie's Something because it's the
same line that starts something in the Way She Moves.
That was he got that from James Taylor, copycat that

(37:08):
rascally George Harrison. Okay. So then with the first one, okay,
so sweet Baby, you better have sweet Baby James. Okay.
He wrote that while driving from up North down to
North Carolina to meet his brother's baby boy named James

(37:32):
was named after him. Wow, And so he wrote that
when he was driving down. So the first verse is
from it's about driving from up North, and then the
second verse is while talking about the turnpike from Stockbridge
to Boston, which is where Austin Riggs he was driving

(37:53):
from the Austin Riggs rehab facility down to North Carolina
to meet his baby nephew. So that's why he talks
about the turnpike from stockborde to Boston. And let's see.
Then there was his second album which had Fire and
Rain and Sweet Baby James on it, that landed him

(38:16):
on the cover of Time magazine. That he did way
better with that one because he was just you know,
out of like rehabit all that and a lot of
this was also in a memoir that he wrote called Breakshot,
which I need to read because I didn't know about
that until I was doing this research from this year.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
You can find a whole kinds of stuff out about
people you didn't.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Know, kind of scary.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
And the thing about the Time magazine cover is it
was rare in the seventies for musician to be on
the cover.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
The most serious world leaders and politicians.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, so he was, I mean, that's to say. And
that was in his early career.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
He was young. Yeah, he was in his twenties.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Let's see. So Fire and Rain made it to number
thirty in nineteen seventy and You've Got a Friend made
it all the way to number one in seventy one,
and then in seventy one he was also the lead
in a film called Tulane Blacktop.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
I didn't realize he was in two Blacktop.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
He was, yes, sir, pro'bly not.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
He married Carly Simon in seventy two and they had
two kids, Ben and Sally, who are both established musicians,
and they divorced in eighty three. He was married to
someone named Catherine Walker from eighty five to ninety five,
and they actually got married in the Cathedral of Saint
John the Divine in Manhattan, where I've been several times.

(39:45):
I even slept over there a couple of times. Youth
group stuff. It has a seven and a half second echo.
Oh wow, in the in the actual cathedral. If you clap,
you hear it for seven and a half seconds.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
That's a long time.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
My little factoid.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
I find fascinating. And he is currently married since two
thousand and one to Carolyn. I can't read my own writing.
Smedvig smed big, but they and everybody calls her Kim.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I don't understand why her name smed Vig, Smedvig, Smedvig.
Close enough, poor kids. She probably got terrorized as a kid.
Smag anyway, I digress.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Quick of money Python when you say that, Okay, how
not to be seen? Okay, I'm distracted by that now anyway.
So they have twin boys, Rufus and Henry who were
born around like one oh two. I'm not sure, but
somewhere in there. And his divorce from Carly was on

(40:56):
account of his his drugs and his drinking and stuff.
So in the mid eighties he became committed to sobriety
and he checked himself into another rehab and AA and
so his two albums in the eighties That's Why I'm
Here and his best album ever in eighty eight, Never
Die Young.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Sorry, the seventies place is going to come around and
give you a ticket.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Go ahead, you guys can bail me out. You can
just write it off anyway. Those both reflected his recovery
and personal growth.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
You know, there were some people that thought he was
the one that was so vain back in the day.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Oh but didn't we don't we know it was we
know what him? Yeah, don't we know?

Speaker 3 (41:45):
It was probably McJagger.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Mc jagger sang on the song right, which is why
war Right.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
MC Jagger's a little bit vain. Oh yeah, I did
hear that.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, I think it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
I think it is warm. Yeah, I think I remember
hearing that, and then I forgot because I've been was
concentrating so much on all this stuff. So since then
turned the page over, he's been advocating for addiction recovery,
especially since losing his brother in ninety three. So he's

(42:16):
won tons of awards, not the least of which were
six Grammys. One of them was for Album of the
Year in seventy one. He was inducted into both the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter Hall
of Fame, both in two thousand and He has sold
over one hundred million records worldwide up until now, and

(42:36):
currently he lives in western Massachusetts with Kim and the Twins.
And he even built his own echo chamber out of
an old shipping container. And then I have here in
parentheses he's in Tulsa tomorrow freaking night.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
So you you will be there too.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
And then the last thing that I found, which I
stumbled upon while I was trying to do the research,
And you know how you hit like you're just looking
at stuff and you're and you hit link after link
after link. Oh yeah, so I found this one interview
where he talked about the song lyrics that he wrote.
But then I and I wrote them down. But then

(43:18):
I went back to find it and I couldn't find
where I and I couldn't find any I couldn't find
any mention of it. But I did write the lyrics down,
and basically, there are these lyrics that he never put
music to. It was very early on, like he was
really young before he met Carly, there was someone else
that he was in love with, and he wrote these lyrics,

(43:41):
but then he never put music to it. I guess,
like too painful or whatever. So I can read the
lyrics at least. Okay, okay, so it goes. I wrote
this messy sorry. Yeah, you see me here out for
a stroll, step stepping in them and hummin in harmony

(44:03):
with the whole dot dot dot world. Look at me,
smile as I whistle for a while. By my contented tone,
you might not notice I am alone. You might, yeah,
you might not notice I am alone. So you stop
me and say, James, I don't mean to pry, but
may I ask why? Well, then I'll tell you the story.

(44:25):
If you excuse the tear in my eye. I once
had a lady. Oh, I once had a love. She
and I like a hand in a glove. And so
you may wonder where is she now? Well sit a spell,
and I'll tell you how something so magical could all
turn so tragical. Forever ago, on this very path, on

(44:45):
this very same road, I happened on one who would
share my life's load, my one and only, my soulmate,
my other half, my my sweet sweet cake. I'll what
a whirlwind. Many were the hikes on moonlight nights. Many
were the ways she perfected each of my days. Oh,

(45:08):
to be lost in her eyes over burgers and fries,
and then also wishing on a star full up on
caviat Au to whirlwind. I would a ride. Well, good
old mister Fate took the reins on a date made
me boldly state to my dear Kate, as we sipped
our rose and shared our crem breulat darling, we were

(45:30):
meant to be. The Lord made me for you and
you for me. We already share a life. So come
on and just be my wife. I would a whirlwind.
All would a ride. Our very next date we went
out for ice cream, and this, my friend, is what
simply destroyed my dream. As we stepped into the parlor

(45:50):
hand in hand to share a sweet treat and admire
that new golden band, we turned to each other and,
as if we had planned it, said, let's share a Sunday.
Oh true love. What a bandit next page It's almost
end synchronizing our thoughts so sweet we could hardly stand it.

(46:15):
But as we chatted with the fellow to order our
tasty shared delight, this was the moment that wronged all
that was right. My heart was shattered, my soul was crushed.
Oh what a betrayal. The angel had angels had hushed
our love. I had already announced it, but then I
heard how she pronounced it, that love, and my world

(46:36):
came to a stop when she said to that fellow,
I'd like Carmel on top.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
There was there was.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Carmel, Caramel, see Carmel.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
I'm quoting the song. That's why he broke up with her.
It broke his heart, crushed his soul. He couldn't even
really put music into it.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
You know what I would just don't what just dawned
on me. I almost guarantee a Donnie record either played
or knew James Taylor, and I didn't until just now
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Is that the guy that walked up to the table.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, I had the trip.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
He used to play all over and I for some
reason on my mind, I'm thinking that he's told me
a story about James Taylor before. I bet I bet
he would have had a cool story we could have had.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Anyway, Maybe he remembers those lyrics.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I'll ask him.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Oh my, so where'd you get those lyrics? Seriously?

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I made you made all of them up? Oh? Did
you quite the poet?

Speaker 2 (47:40):
I didn't even know it? Did you know it?

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Somebody somebody out there put the music?

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Hey, I can do it.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Hey copywriting that right here?

Speaker 1 (47:50):
At all the music?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Christ stick that in a day? How do you do that, Curtis?
Make that happen?

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Give to songer dot com.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
There you go, No way, I for this girl.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Oh it ain't that scared. It ain't that scared. Okay,
here here's a little more song info. Do you got
You probably don't have this sweet for twenty g yep.
Play that real quick, just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I was curious about this because I couldn't listen to him.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
I got the background on it, Okay, come on, oh
I get it. He got to play, he had to
play button.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Well, sometimes I don't.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
I.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Keep in the wrong thing.

Speaker 7 (48:37):
I say, inside on.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
To day, step in a way.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Side my things say. This was an act of financial desperation, yeah,
said record labels can be generous if you deliver the goods.
Taylor had a deal in place that would pay him
twenty thousand dollars once he completed the album, a sum

(49:13):
that would have been life changing for an artist still
scraping by. But there was one problem. He was one
song short. His solution stitched together three unfinished songs into
one sweet and just like that, Sweet for twenty G
was born. Oh cool, So that's the background on that.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
And talk about the girl who said Karmel And there was.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
A girl that said Carmel a lot broke his heart,
broke his harr man.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Well, he'll get over it.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
And then do you like steamroller Blues? I got play
that one real quick.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
Well, I don't like one little line at the end,
but that's no live version.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Well do you know the background on that song? Well,
I'm a steamroller bag. This is like one of his
most popular concert songs. That's why he saves it to
the end. Yes, I'm a steam roller now Babe over you.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
This was on the sweet Baby.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
James level, a little bit of background. This song was
actually supposed to be a joke. Taylor was no bluesman
and he knew it. But after spending years watching ernest
but ultimately inauthentic white blues band straining to sound like
Mississippi Delta Legends, he decided to poke fun at the trend.

(50:41):
Steamroller Blues was written as a parody, complete with over
the top bravado and exaggerated lyrics. Yet irony can be
a funny thing. It turned out to be a crowd favorite,
and even Elvis Presley recorded a version of nineteen seventy three.
Taylor's mockery of the genre ended up being one of
his most endure live staples.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I'd never heard that song before. As I was going
through this list, I heard there was a bunch of them.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
I didn't hear.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Yeah, that's on one of my best of albums, like
Part one, and they have Part one and Part two.
It's on one of them.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Wrote his first song at age of fourteen. Did you
say that?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Not specific?

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Some of those I may repeat a little bit. Five grammys,
four of them in the pop category. The other was
in a country, but he was known as a folk artist.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
That's six grammys.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Maybe one would you get six? Five in the seventies
and one after the seventies maybe.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
So, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
We'll just twell. Five and a half.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
There you go, he got a graph.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
And then here's two. Here's two interesting facts about James Taylor.
James Taylor and John Lennon were friends, and on December seventh,
nineteen eighty, James Taylor had an altercation with Mark David Chapman.
The next day, Chapman assassinated John Lennon. Taylor, who lived

(52:12):
in the building next to Lennon's, heard the five shots
that Chapman fired during the assassination.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
That's awful.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Yeah. And then James Taylor and Taylor Swift have performed
together on multiple occasions, appropriate since Taylor Swift is named
after James.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Taylors James Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
According to this, her mom must have been a fan
or her dad. There you go, must be true. So
I'm the Internet. It's got be true. Said well, you're
agreeing with you. It's gotta be true.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Okay. So, so, favorite songs or do you got any
more you want to talk about?

Speaker 1 (52:51):
No, yeah, no, I'm good.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
