A sweet genius, this man is. He's made the world an immeasurably better place thanks to his creativity, beautiful music, and poignant lyrics. Such a splendid human being!
Happy birthday James Taylor. I always remember annually, but I don't always remind you. Many blessings ♥️🎵
40 years of sobriety, congratulations and well done 👏 James
I am a 43-year-old man and never had a sip of the cursed drink. I am glad I am.
Most people will never get that
@@waryaawariiri1812Son, I hope you never ever know how truly blessed you are. “Wine gladdens the hearts of men,” as the Psalmist says, but it has also destroyed the lives of millions upon millions upon millions, mine being one, along with every single person I ever try to love. Getting it back, by Grace, 12 years on now.
James: Thrilled for you celebrating 40 years of sober recovery --- just celebrated 44 in December a day at a time -- most people will never experience this and deeply grateful that I am and you, too! Keep on keeping on, my friend!💖💖✨✨💖💖
Fuckin eh! 40 years!
Mr Taylor, you look fantastic! Stay well. You’re such a treasure. ❤♥️🫶🏼♥️❤
James, you look amazing. Thank you for music that stirs the soul. I grew up listening to you. Kudos on your recovery.
James Taylor. A National Treasure.
I remember your 50 birthday in Paris (Olympia Music-hall) A fan exclaimed "Happy Birthday James" your answer was : Shut up !
I have loved JT since I was in my early 20s & I love him even more now that I'm 60! 😍🥰❤️🤩💖
Congratulations James on 40 yrs of sobriety! How wonderful!
And Happy 75th Birthday darlin! 🥳🎂🎁🎈 With many many more to come!! 😁💗💕
Love James Taylor.
Always love James…
Me too
Mona, so much of you to love.
Too much of you to take care of.
🧓Two years separate us James so you know how many years I've been a fan of you and your 🎵music. Never change James; you and I might be getting older 👴 but your music never will Lol.💋
JT, the soundtrack of my youth! 👏👏👏👏
I love his music so much.
You’ve Got A Friend ❤
Love you so much James 💗🧸
Thank you for your kindness love and support
I'd love to meet this man.
Great song and great interview - I thought the big important question was going to be did he really give her a 12-gauge surprise! 😂
Thank you for your kindness love and support
The person we’d all love to meet………James Taylor.
I know James Taylor's song "Mona". It's from his 1985 album "That's Why I'm Here".
Thank you for your kindness love and support
I’ve worked with dogs and pigs, and agree that pigs are smarter, but get really big really fast. I also worked with elephants, and they are far more intelligent, but they come with serious tonnage.
Taylor, I know you’ll watch this interview and I just want to say I love you ❤️
Me, too. Since Album 1.
J.T. is the man.
Maybe the best singing voice in music history.
Ohhh Mona. Wonder if they ate her? 🤔 🐷🥓
It’s time tested!! 😂
Thank you for your kindness love and support
This is odd. My recollection from an interview quite some years ago, was that Taylor had gotten tired (to the point of being annoyed) of people asking him if Mona was a real pig or not. I guess he's come full circle on appreciating fans of Mona, now that fewer people may know his songs.
❤
Hes 16 years older than me! When I was a kid..I used to play his songs!
I was 8 years old! Well hes somewhere between 15/16 years older than me!
I finally met a human named Mona, and I always think of this song around her ... but I doubt she knows it and I'm not so sure she'd enjoy the info given the details and lyrics.... 🙃
Auction that card you cowards!
He was so cute in the late 60's.
For the record, pigs are smarter than dogs. Not that intelligence or stupidity should justify non-human animal/human abuse/slaughter, ever.
Thank you for your kindness love and support
Marty robbins talk about Johnny Horton
Look how well this ex-junkie turned out! He's an interesting and kind man. Could others afflicted with addiction turn out so well? We should try to find out more often with helping hands. This sounds a little preachy I was going for sardonic. Sorry
Some pig
Having opiate addiction gene run in his family and cheap heroin available from the start, plus mental health issues from very young age - JT succumbed to a perfect trifecta of circumstances.
Auction that card!

It's OK to get high, probably even healthy. Natural part of being human. As always though, moderation in all things.
Auction that note card off for charity!
I thought "Mona" was a Bo Diddley song....
Not sure if it's true, but I heard when I was a kid that pigs had very long orgasms... that might explain them being pretty single-minded when 'that thing' is 'in season'.
"she was focused on food and sex a couple times a year."
Said every Catholic husband.
😝😝
They have an obsession with Lindsey Graham
Did she really weigh 500 pounds?
Thank you for your kindness love and support
I always remember this guy traded carly simon for heroin
Hmm... He's not making a good case for the intelligence of pigs. (I wonder what happened to her.)
Too bad JT was such a twat to both Joni and Carly.
Here's the answer. God so loved the world He gave His son Jesus that whoever believes will have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please repent/believe, once your gone there's no do overs, there's no turning back.
The juxtaposition of Mr Taylor with Ms Longoria (no dispersion on her) could not possibly be more bizarre, Mr Colbert. Seriously. Your judgement since those two disastrous PR puff pieces with Rachel Markle’s husband has become truly disturbing. Are you drunk? Serious question.
Did you mean Meghan Markle? And his name is Harry Windsor, more commonly known as Prince Harry.
