Last night I saw James Taylor at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. Here is a preview poem called “Carolina In My Mind” from my upcoming chapbook called “MIXTAPE”. MIXTAPE will be a series of flarf poems created from YouTube comments of the corresponding song each poem is titled after. the chapbook will be about 14-16 poems long (the approximate size of the average mixtape) and will come with a burned CD of the mixtape songs.
A GENTLE INTRO TO SUNDAY. Great song for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Always Wondered — Which Carolina? North Or South?
James Taylor is from Chapel Hill, North Carolina…so North.
this song is about him in drug treatment in europe.. dreaming about carolina.
I think he went to rehab in Berlin.
He was on the Mediterranean island of Formentera (near Spain)
Piedmont, near the mountains I would say. Blowing Rock and Boone. I never been to the Outter Banks.
I am orginally from St Augustine. Our beaches are the best. St Augustine Beach.
I am from Indiana….Indianapolis born and raised
Where is a good place to vacation?
drive across the James Taylor bridge over Morgan Creek on 15-501 south of Chapel Hil
In my case, it’s #Arizona so I change the words up a bit.
Not from Carolina? From Arkansas!! This song Got me through the Vietnam Situation in 1969-1973
it helps me relax at the end of a busy and often stressful week.
MAKES ME SAD BUT I JUST HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT.
I listen to this to torture myself. I listen in my car and cry. Maybe I miss my mom.
Every Friday morning our school custodian plays Taylor for the staff early in the morning
You’re up already ? .. hahaha .. don’t they ever sleep in Carolina ? Nothing crazy about sleep .. hahaha .. (^o^) ♥
Nothin better too sleep to than these old hits!!!!
James Taylor is like a fine wine. He only gets better with time.
Like good old wine, better than ever..
He is really old(no offense) but really good and clear.
I had to become a grandfather, as he has, to really appreciate his true talent.
