To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.

  • Linda Ronstadt by John Rockwell the Queen of Seventies Rock Was First and Foremost a Singer with a Golden Voice As Well As a Musical Omnivore
    Linda Ronstadt By John Rockwell The queen of seventies rock was first and foremost a singer with a golden voice as well as a musical omnivore. NEARLY TWENTY YEARS AFTER SHE BECAME ELIGIBLE, Linda Ronstadt was finally nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, of course, was elected on the first ballot. Linda herself (I call her Linda because we’ve been friends for nearly forty years) has never been much for awards ceremonies - Hall of Fame, Grammys, whatever. “I don’t want to seem ungracious,” she told me, graciously. “But I’ve refused all comment about this.” ^ One tricky aspect of her relation to the Hall of Fame is that Linda (b. July 15,1946) has long since gone beyond rock in her madly diverse musical career. When she became eligible, she was already well into her standards and Mex­ ican albums. To the disappointment of her rock fans (who, to judge from her recent book tour, remain a devoted, warmly affectionate lot), she gives the 1970s relatively short shrift in her lovely memoir, Sim ple D ream s. To read her now, she felt her musical range to be confined; her concerts all lonely dressing rooms and bad arena acoustics and onstage unease. Indoor sports stadiums and big crowds cause her dis­ comfort. ^ To discuss Linda’s remarkable musical career would be to place equal emphasis on all the kinds of music she has sung, from folk and folk rock, to country and country rock, to pop rock and hard rock, to Gilbert and Sullivan and Puccini, to American songbook standards, to Mexican ranchera, to Afro-Cuban, to jazz.
