Now that the elections are over and we can exhale Cockatoo has been looking at videos we were too nervous to watch when they occurred. Exhibit A, the incomparable James Taylor at the Democratic National Convention, here. Sixteen minutes of that most perfect voice, singing melodies that are woven into our DNA, with lyrics--snark- and irony-free lyrics--that still have the power to nudge out tears. But wait, there's more! Consider this audience--all races, both genders, all abilities, swaying, singing along, and just enjoying the hell out of the performance.
Beautiful.
