Undervalued as a singer song writer in my opinion,perhaps it's because he's more folk than rock.

Re: Paul Simon
He was/is brilliant.
If I could only listen to one singer for the rest of my days it would be him.

Graceland is one of my fave albums especially the way he uses ethnic rhythms/sounds.

Re: Paul Simon
I thought you were about to announce his demise.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Re: Paul Simon
Yes,sorry about that.
Re: Paul Simon
Paul Simon is one of the few artists, in fact probably the only one, I would pay a lot of money to see - though I think there is very little chance of that happening.
I did see Art Garfunkel and that was lovely.
The album 'Still Crazy after all these years' is one of my favourites.

I'm not really a fan but this tune evokes great memories of a holiday aged 11 with my Aunt and Uncle, my cousin and little Sis at Brean Sands.
