My vernacular colloquialisms are seldom, if ever, criticized and if you are a regular reader, you'll find expletives intelligently iterated throughout, but oh my, your virgin ears! Refreshing, if nothing else.<br /><br />"Popular" is not equal to "legendary." Taylor's not popular anymore, unless you're into like Peabo Bryson too.<br /><br />Taylor barely squeezes enough into suburban Chicago's Ravinia. Neil outsells the mammoth United Center every time.

Go to a James Taylor concert and see all the GENERATIONS of fans he has- the fact that he tamed his addictions and continues to be popular says an awful lot about the man. Neil diamond attracts the Lawrence Welk crowd and that's it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
