Television heads-up

I don't know if this has played yet on PBS where you live, but it's scheduled for next Tuesday here (probably as part of a pledge drive, but worth it): Great Performances presents "A Tribute To James Taylor." Look at the performers:

Dixie Chicks, Bonnie Raitt, India.Arie, Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Sheryl Crow, Sting, Dr. John, Taj Mahal, Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Keith Urban, Bruce Springsteen, and Carole King.

Boomer heaven!

What was the occasion? "In recognition of his many achievements in music, as well as his philanthropic efforts, Taylor was honored in February 2006 as 'Person of the Year' by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' MusiCares program."

Bruce Springsteen's version of "Millworker" (off of >Flag? Maybe Dad Loves His Work?) is chilling.
