'You just need some nurturing and redefinition as to what "eclectic" means in the world of music'

No, Les-I am more eclectic than you might think! I might enjoy a James Taylor concert, and I might not, but if I did, I would not post my opinon to this venue. I have other musical tastes, but I go to other places to hear them, talk about them, post about them and ask questions about them. For example, I like some 30's & 40's big band music--and some opera! But I don't expect this forum to answer questions about those for me.

If I understand James Taylor, he is sort of 'pop-acoustic'? And 'The Mamas & the Papas' are sort of 60's pop/folk/rock, with 'pop & rock' being the real operative terms. That's why I open my mouth and object. (I really wish I could just shrug it all off like you do.)

and as for THIS "Subject: RE: lyrics-California Dreamin' (Mamas & Papas) From: Brian Date: 04/30/97

Sidney Carter said that folk music was the music of the people. That just about covers anything at some time or another."

pooh!!
