Y siempre tenía que sacarla del error: "Noooo...no sé quién será ese otro (Jackson Browne al parecer), pero James Taylor no le pegaba a nadie que yo sepa, era solo un pobre yonki, pero no maltrató a ninguna mujer".
Bueno, pobre drogadicto no, que podía costearse su adicción, pero sí pobre por lo que supongo que tuvo que sufrir.
De hecho, este clásico que está aquí debajo y compuso bien jovencito, ya hablaba de su adicción y cómo capeaba con ella al mismo tiempo que trataba del suicidio de una amiga de su infancia (la Suzanne a quien se alude en la letra). Os dejo con una versión del tema en directo.
"Fire
And Rain"
(James
Taylor)
Just
yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne,
the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked
out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just
can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen
fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen
lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see
you again.
Won't you
look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just
got to see me through another day.
My body's
aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've
seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never
end.
I've seen
lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see
you again.
Been
walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows
when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well,
there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet
dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
Oh, I've
seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never
end.
I've seen
lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I
always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.
Thought I'd
see you one more time again.
There's
just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd
see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.
Añadido: James Taylor fue uno de los primeros artistas que fichó por el sello Apple e hizo una audición ante dos de los melenudos, Pablito y Jorgito. Les tocó esta canción , que podemos decir que acabaría inspirando esta otra .¿ Y qué opina James sobre el posible "robo"? : "Había robado todo lo que había podido de los Beatles. Al menos les debía una."
