A Quick Moment with Carol
Dear Current and Former Sorority Girls and Frat Guys:
The band James recorded many albums between 1986 and 2001 and I have all of them. They have been one of my favorite bands for many years and I had the good fortune of seeing them live on tour in support of their 1997 album Whiplash.
It is because of my pure love for this accomplished band that I humbly implore you, stop playing the song Laid everytime you're out at a bar. Stop screaming, "This is my song!" as soon as the opening notes sound. And stop singing along, off-key at the top of your lungs. 1) It's not your song. 2) You only know it because it was in American Pie. 3) While a fun song, it's probably the most minor track on the spectacular album of the same name. 4) You come very close to getting the business-end of a recently broken beer bottle jammed in your eye socket when you do this.
xoxo,
Carol

This should go double in regards to Kiss From a Rose.
Didn't know I struck a nerve.
At the bars I go to (if you don't count Bennigans), I know it's time to go home when I hear either "Old Time Rock & Roll" or "Celebration".
I saw James in London in '87. I've loved "Why So Close" ever since. Keep rockin', Carol.
Thank you Carol.
I'm a James fan, too. I even own "Wah Wah."
Now if someone played "Sometimes" or "Say Something"... that'd be a different story.
YES. Damn...now I gotta dig that album out and load it on the ipod.
They're all out to get you.
