Sorry for all the James Taylor lately — I’ve been suffering from insomnia — but the chance to belittle Ted Cruz was just too strong to pass up. Cruz is coming home from his “long-planned family vacation” amid an avalanche of criticism, which stands to get worse once more people find out he was staying at the Nizuc Resort and Spa, where the rooms approach $500 a night.
The song was an Adult Contemporary hit (No. 5) for Taylor off his 1975 LP “Gorilla.” This live version from 1998 extends and dresses up the original arrangement.
Jimmy Buffett covered it, which figures — the upbeat Latin rhythm makes it sound more like a Jimmy Buffett tune than the typical James Taylor mopefest.
