What in the world is going on.....

Oblgny....that's just the point.....Fremmer gave this record's sound, performance, and content a rave review....Simon is and has been one of my favorites.   This recording just doesn't make it on MY system....and wondering why.  (as an aside I was REALLY amazed and disappointed at Paul's performance at the Democratic convention....out of tune, garbled words, phoned in....)

That performance at the DNC was....good gosh. Well intentioned though it was, I was cringing. 

Phoned in?  That would have been a wise decision!  But one performance, one rendition doesn't negate a career that has been pretty damn amazing.  

Recent additions to my system have me flipping vinyl more often than listening digitally.  Even my vintage vinyl sounds great.  

Paul Simon has been past his prime since the 80's.

All these performers that hit their peak in the 70's, should "hang it up" IMO!

It's their business whether to keep playing or not, question is who is going to listen to that playing?

I'm SHOCKED, shocked to learn that not everyone on this forum has the same musical tastes. Even the original poster of this thread admitted that on headphones, Paul Simon's "Stranger to Stranger" sounded "wonderful". Look, you may not like the album, or Paul Simon in general, but to complain about it on this forum seems juvenile. Even the most jaded audiophile must recognize that PS has given us a lot of great music during his career, even if it isn't your style.
