Taylor fans brave deluge

It's called JT Love, and this is what it looks like: Thousands of fans dressed more like crab fishermen than concertgoers pack a stadium-size lawn at Tanglewood.

I use to work at tanglewood as summer job while in college 27 years ago and JT was there with then wife Carly Simon. Hard to believe he is still so popular there. How can you enjoy yourself sitting on saoked grass with rain down pour? Crazy!

Remember now, James Taylor is just too busy to volunteer any of his valuable time to a USO tour to entertain US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
People are risking there lives there -- some even dying -- but Sweet Baby James feels playing for aging baby boomers at Tanglewood eclipses everything else.
He's obviously above it all.

Exactly, so why shouldn't the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan be entertained as well as the folks at Tanglewood?
USO is willing to bear ALL the considerable expenses of bringing Sweet Baby James and his crew overseas and back.
Taylor just has to make himself available to USO.
So why can't he do that one simple thing for the benefit of the troops and for his country?
What's his problem -- is he that selfish and self-centered?

Bunch of yuppies who go there NOT for the music, but becuase it's the IN thing to do. Pack up the BMW or Volvo, load the wine & cheese and lawn chairs and go and make sure you're 'seen' by other yuppies doing the same thing...Hey there's Jimmy Ruberto over by the shed...wonder why he's not at the Red Sox game??
PHONIES!!!!!

I'm surprised Barack Hussein Obama didn't show up to give a speech about "change" and "hope".
Those are all his voters and supporters.
