Just heard this new cat, Paul Simon. Listened to all his albums from the 60s and 70s.
Probably not well known, but you guys should give him a listen. Crazy good songwriter and pretty decent singer too.

I knew that today was the 1st, but for a minute I thought maybe it was April 1st.

Saw the thread title, thought for sure we lost him too. Bowie, Cohen, and Simon would've been one heck of a trifecta."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Me too. The guy is a musical genius.JohnInCarolina said:Saw the thread title, thought for sure we lost him too. Bowie, Cohen, and Simon would've been one heck of a trifecta.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga -
I was excited to learn he wasn't dead. Figured he was shot or OD'd like Joplin, Purple fog guy, or Lenin.

It's physically impossible to listen to The Paul Simon and be pissed off. Wonder if He and Garfunkel will do another album?

RIP. He'll be missed.

I didn't realize he was the Simon from Simon&Garfield. My dad used to have their huge CDs around all the time.
Did he start that band after breaking up Peter, Paul, and Mary? I thought he slept with Mary and made Peter angry or something.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

Simon has said absolutely NOT! So happens I have been reading about them a lot latlely and while I knew they have been at odds for years I didn't realize how bitter Simon was toward Garfunkel. Granted there are always two sides to every story but Garfunkel has laid out what a turd Simon is in real life and why they split. These boys were amongst my favorites in the middle 60's along with PP&M and it's sad to me. I never got to see them in person but caught PP&M 3 times - 2 of which Mary was still a thin long blonde haired leggy fox!NPHuskerFL said:Wonder if He and Garfunkel will do another album?Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time -
Always loved the vocal work with Art. First song i learned to play was the Sounds of Silence - of course i grew up in that hippy, folk, Woodstock era.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I saw both S&G and PP&M a couple of times. Met Mary and got her autograph in her later years. Awesome!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I think I have a few Kodachrome slides I took of him a few decades ago.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk

That was one of his songs! So is a kodachrome like a smartphone? it takes pictures? I didn't really get the song. Now it makes more sense.HeavyG said:I think I have a few Kodachrome slides I took of him a few decades ago.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

The truth is Puff ate Peter and Paul and Mary did sleep with Paul Simon. They were about to start another group called Paul, Art and Mary but decieded to use last names and Simon and Garfunkel and Travers is way too long.Ozzie_Isaac said:I didn't realize he was the Simon from Simon&Garfield.

Should have paid more attention when @Jeepster47 was controlling the radio. I vaguely remember "The Nylons".

Didn't he write a letter to the Thessalonians while he was in jail or something?
