Chicopee John Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 How did a classy guy like James Taylor allow himself to be little more than an out-of-water seal at a water park at the urging of John Kerry? Pathetic? Pitiful? Choose your word. So long JT..................................it was great, great listening to you over the years. I guess we all 'Jump the Shark' sooner or later.

Westside Steve Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 hey brother John. Would you have a link? I have heard nothing about this but there's a lot of liberal entertainers up there who do silly shit for politicians. It doesn't mean Taylor isn't a brilliant musician. But...

He likely got invited to do it by the White House and took it as an honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicopee John Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hate it when people jump the shark... So what's your point, Woody? What does one have to do with the other? You must also suffer from W-envy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 So what's your point, Woody? What does one have to do with the other? You must also suffer from W-envy. It is pretty clear what one has to do with the other. Older celebrities doing something divisively political to alienate some of their fans. It looks like one case was much worse than the other though.... Wtf is W-envy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 http://www.woodpecker-control.com/ Cal, if you have me on ignore, please just avoid posting about me or attempting to insult me. If you just don't directly see what I post (..right) but still reply to those posts like you would normally, it doesn't change anything. Thanks Regards, Woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all 'pathetic' in their own way, I guess. Maybe we can start a list of famous people who jumped the shark. I'll start with Colin Powell in his infamous WMD presentation in front of the United Nations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Al Gore's climate change pitch was jumping the shark. And kind of poisoned the well for the rest of you guys. One thing about the James Taylor video is that nobody sounds good with a small video camera in the back of the room. WSS WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Al Gore was something of a self-appointed spokesman though?

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Weren't his presentations based on scientific research? WSS Yeah but the selling of the research was the problem. Science speak: "You could see a sea level rise of (x) amount of meters by 2050." Gore speak: "Miami will be a floating island of bloated drowning victims!"

I definitely respect JT as an artist and have enjoyed his music for many years. The point, really, isn't about him at all except he allowed himself to be put in this corny situation by Kerry. The entire episode seems to be a segment of a variety of movies currently being shown on Comedy Central. "You've got a friend......................................."

While it's good to highlight the science, we should be listening to scientists, not politicians about these things. Exactly, and the science is pretty clear. All of the actual doomsday talking heads shouldn't be seen as the authorities on the matter. While those actually presenting scientific evidence about a wamring world or rising sea level shouldn't be lumped with the doomsday talking heads. Then, those on saying that man made climate change is happening have to not only sort through the mountains of shit science and experts thrown at them by deniers, but also sort through the legitimate and not legitimate claims made by those making doomsday claims.
