Valin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 NY Times: MICHAEL R. GORDON JAN. 16, 2015 PARIS — Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday capped off a morning full of high-level meetings and wreath-laying to commemorate France’s struggle against terrorism by welcoming James Taylor at Paris’s ornate City Hall. After strumming a few bars of “La Marseillaise,” the national anthem of France, Mr. Taylor lowered his head and played “You’ve Got a Friend,” singing the final words in French. Mr. Kerry had said on Thursday that he wanted to “share a big hug with Paris” to demonstrate American friendship with “the longest ally in our history” after a three-day onslaught last week in which Islamist militants killed 17 people.

Valin Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm on iPad so can't do the slammy head emoticon. I would like to know just who thought (and I use the word in its loosest sense) this was a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
