Songwriter Carole King is a long time resident of Idaho. Her home is just North of Sun Valley, where John Kerry has a vacation home. She stumped for fledgling democrats across our state. She wrote this comment in a letter to our local newspaper:
"If the current situation isn't working for you, please vote for Sen. Kerry. Women: you don't have to vote the way your father or husband does. It's a secret ballot."

American Jews need to get with the GW program. They have four more years to do the right thing by this great friend of Israel. Among his other positives.
Signs of a wasted youth...
and better voices, I'll warrant.
Kerry and wife (along with Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Winn) got into trouble trying to divert part of the Big Wood River in Sun Valley to water the lawns around that relocated English barn that they live in. More examples of bigshots moving into an area and thinking local rules and customs don't apply to them ("Do you know who I am?"). May go over in Cambrdige Mass or NY but don't try that crap in the intermountain West.
Thanks, dennis! Looks like an interesting site.
sorry but I just don't find her music all that stimulating.. just because her music friends record her music doesn't mean I have to like her musically..
Carole King should put out an album with Yoko Ono - that would be cool.
Maybe it's just me, but Carole King looks an awful lot like Tah-ray-za.
She just doesn't get it. In my 35 year marriage, I am the one who tells my husband who and what to vote for. Not because he is stupid; but, because he is too busy working to study the issues. He knows I am a political junky and he values MY opinion. Neither of us need to keep our vote secret from each other. We love and trust each other in all things.
She was just a kid (15 or so) with no music "friends" when she sold her first songs. Recording Talent beat a path to her door for years before she recorded herself. She certainly has not been coasting on one disc. You don't have to like it to acknowledge her talent. As others here have pointed out, her talent (or yours) has nothing to do with making what she says meaningful. And, pulling others down in this manner makes the one doing the pulling look smaller, not the target, at least that's how I was raised to think.

I prefered Lesly Gore.
They don't seem to mind tearing down our beliefs and values. In fact, many of them relish denigrating conservatives. Personally I find it very, very difficult to enjoy the "talents" of anyone who is outspoken against my beliefs. It's just me; but, I'm not going to give them any of my money to help them further their warped, immoral values.
Carole King is a talented and good hearted person. Only problem is she thinks liberal programs are the answer and backstabbers like John Kerry are fine candidates.
Heck, I'd go for Edie Gormet's Latin stuff first myself.
Well it's too late baby...now it's too late....
Though they really did try to make it...
Something inside has died....

My whole point is that we should outclass the bastards, and knocking someone's success in one area to hit them in another is not the way to do that, regardless of what their tactics are.
You have to wonder: did she really think this was happening?
