I've heard Zevon's (excellent) live album many times, and the concert
version recorded there has him saying, "and he's looking for JAMES
Taylor."  Maybe this is what you heard, or maybe he changed it.  At
any rate, I sort of assumed this WAS meant as a putdown.

Something similar appears on Paul McCartney's "Wings Over America"
live album.  He sings the Simon & Garfunkel "Richard Cory" (based,
in turn, on a poem by E.A. Robinson), and in the line ending the
chorus, instead of saying "I wish that I could be . . . Richard Cory,"
he says, "I wise that I could be . . . John Denver."  The crowd
liked it.
