   In any case, there's not much to the  song, which is why it's boring.

   Certainly while they're at it, they could expect a song that's less   
   boring...and not "Wagon Wheel" because that's boring too ;)   
   Reminds me of a band I used to play with several months ago, that did both   
   those songs - made me sick, but the audience didn't mind because they were   
   mostly drunk.

   I know, only the song titles are the same ;)

   At least George's version sounded more like something that would be played   
   on WJJD back in the '60s.

   Unless they're *better* requests ;)

   That's probably because James Taylor was known to have some mental issues,   
   which were reflected in his lyrics, but at least it kept him out of the   
   Vietnam War.
