What is it with singer James Taylor and the Democrats? In 2015, secretary of state John Kerry brought Taylor to France to sing "You've Got a Friend" in response to a major terrorist attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The Guardian called this a "tone-deaf performance" and a "hokey" idea. Foreign Policy called the Kerry-Taylor musical hug "awkward." Vox called the performance an apology by the Obama administration for failing to send a high-level U.S. official to a large anti-terrorism rally. National Review noted that Kerry was "roundly mocked" as an "international laughing-stock" for bringing Taylor to...

I felt the earth move under my feet. Probably quite small in world terms but these things don't normally happen here - Australia is very geologically inactive.

[Snip] Yes, we've lost some already. On top of the icons who died horribly young decades ago — Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, John Lennon — there's the litany of legends felled by illness, drugs, and just plain old age in more recent years: George Harrison, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty. Those losses have been painful. But it's nothing compared with the tidal wave of obituaries to come. The grief and nostalgia will wash over us all. Yes, the Boomers left alive will take it...

Planned Parenthood is harnessing star power in a new effort to advertise abortion. But with its straw-man messaging, Planned Parenthood and its celebrity PR team are only preaching to their choir. They’re not converting anyone. On August 26, Planned Parenthood announced that it had collected the signatures of nearly 140 musicians as part of its latest campaign for abortion called “Bans Off My Body.” To boast about its supporters, the nation’s largest abortion provider purchased an ad listing the artists – from Lady Gaga to Ariana Grande – in Billboard magazine. Planned Parenthood began its campaign in June in response...

Aly Weisman June 26, 2014 The Broadway musical "Beautiful" — the true story of Carole King's remarkable rise from behind-the-scenes songwriter to solo stardom — took home three Tony Awards in June, including Best Actress for Jessie Mueller's portrayal of King. "Tapestry" launched Carole King's solo career in 1971, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time. But what many don't realize about King's career is that the musician began songwriting for other artists in the 1960s, over a decade before she became a famous artist in her own right. King and her then husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote more...

Lyricist Gerry Goffin, who with his then-wife and songwriting partner Carole King wrote such hits as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," ''(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," ''Up on the Roof" and "The Loco-Motion," died early Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 75... Goffin, who married King in 1959 while they were in their teens, penned more than 50 top 40 hits, including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees, "Crying in the Rain" by the Everly Brothers, "Some Kind of Wonderful" for the Drifters and "Take Good Care of My Baby" by Bobby Vee.

Only Dane Cook could turn a charity performance for the Boston Strong concert into a catastrophe. For those who haven’t heard, Boston Strong was a music and comedy benefit concert for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. The lineup included Aerosmith, New Kids on the Block, and James Taylor and Carole King, as well as several comedy acts. The sold-out, six-hour concert was also livestreamed on multiple audio and video feeds for those who could not attend in person, including not just average Americans but some Boston Marathon bombing victims as well. Imagine people’s surprise, then, when the feed...

Getty April 26, 2011: American Idol 10 Singer James Durbin arrives at BritWeek's VIP launch reception of the 5th annual BritWeek at the British Consul General's residence in Los Angeles, Calif. Of the six American Idol 10 contestants remaining, none impressed judge Jennifer López more than rock-and-roll fiend James Durbin. Durbin, 21, had López dancing and smiling Wednesday night as he showed a softer, more romantic side while performing Carole King's "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." "I thought from the beginning," said López excitedly, "it was magical. "You had me moving here for the first time all night," she...

Watch out, Barbra Streisand! You've got some serious competition in the category of formerly famous woman singers turned loud and illogical liberal lips. Carole King has proclaimed that people who say that Pres. Obama's cap-and-tax plan is an energy tax are . . . like "birthers." King made her wacky claim on Willie Geist's "Way Too Early" show this morning. View video here.

URBANA, Ohio — With women jumping on the Sarah Palin bandwagon, Carole King is doing her best to get them on the Obama Loco-Motion instead. The legendary songwriter, who wrote the pop classic for Little Eva back in the early '60s, made a stop at Urbana University on Wednesday, Sept. 24, to have a heart-to-heart with other natural women. In what was billed as a women's roundtable, King confessed she started as a Hillary Clinton supporter. "I keep hearing in the media about this faction of Hillary supporters who are going to vote for McCain," she said. "In what universe?"...

GOING THE DISTANCE Following in her father's footsteps, Vanessa Kerry is training to run in the Boston Marathon. John Kerry's youngest daughter is studying in London on a Fulbright scholarship, but told friends in a recent e-mail that she's training for the April race. (Her father has said he competed in the late 1970s.) In the e-mail, Kerry said she's running as part of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's marathon team and invited friends to visit the Dana-Farber website and make a donation supporting cancer research. (Among those who've responded are famous friends: singer Carole King and Al Gore's middle daughter,...

Songwriter Carole King is a long time resident of Idaho. Her home is just North of Sun Valley, where John Kerry has a vacation home. She stumped for fledgling democrats across our state. She wrote this comment in a letter to our local newspaper: "If the current situation isn't working for you, please vote for Sen. Kerry. Women: you don't have to vote the way your father or husband does. It's a secret ballot." CAROLE KING Stanley
