Scandalous Revelations!

I've been reading the memoir by Joey Ramone's brother Mickey Leigh, entitled I Slept With Joey Ramone. It's a decent book without too many shocking revelations, but there was this titillating tidbit on page 72:

My brother was in agony, desperately trying to hang onto his sanity. He began listening less to the heavier rock & roll and more to soft, introspective music. We had heard that James Taylor's song "Sweet Baby James" was about the time he'd committed himself to a mental institution in Massachusetts for nine months. [Joey] got heavily into the song and that album.

Wow! Somehow this is way more shocking than hearing that Joey was into the Airplane, the Dead, and Quicksilver, which doesn't actually seem all that weird to me. And way more shocking that he was into the whole album.  Think about it: Joey Ramone was into James Taylor.
