Ordinarily I despise James Taylor above all other musicians. But my best friend, who used to run the music at our stupid growing-up bush parties, would bust this out at a certain point of the night and we'd all lovingly mock him and pelt him with dirt and empty beer cans and watch the fire awhile. He died when he was 22. And now this dumb fucking song guts me and always will.
