James Taylor’s Childhood Home in Chapel Hill Was a Ghost of Itself, Until a New York Couple Saved It
Posted Mar 26, 2023
In the song “Copperline,” James Taylor sings about the neighborhood where he grew up in Chapel Hill, lamenting the overdevelopment that has since changed the area. “I tried to go back, as if I could, all spec houses and plywood, tore up and tore up good,” the song goes. The lyrics refer to “the McMansions speculators tend to drop everywhere,” Taylor explained.
