James Taylor tells fans to improve attitude

James Taylor has a Thanksgiving message for his fans: Gratitude improves your attitude.

The singer says in an email that giving thanks is the key to overcoming setbacks and dealing with reversals of fortune.

He writes: “To whom we give it is a big question but just go ahead on and do it. Gratitude is the way to an improved attitude, dude.”

Taylor then gets a little spacey in Thursday’s message, speculating about the possibility that other distant worlds in the cosmos might support life.
