Paul is Done


It's so demoralizing that as we grow older, our creativity, talent, abilities go away.  One of my favorites has put out a new album rehashing previous successes, and has announced his retirement.  Relax Paul Simon ..enjoy your days.

His recent DVD, “Paul Simon-Live in New York City” was worth the money. If you like Paul Simon, you will love this performance. You won’t be disappointed.

We saw him twice, in Oakland and Berkeley, California. Very unforgettable! 
I have all the S & G albums on vinyl and CD, as well as 6 of his albums.  And I  agree, the NY DVD is great!  I only saw him live once (great show) and he was  funny as hell on Saturday Night Live.

Thanks for everything Paul Simon.

Enjoy your retirement.

I rushed to buy tickets for his final show in Queens.  Can’t wait! Paul is an American original, legend and brought such a refined intelligent, lyricist and beautiful melodies to popular music.  He is a gem.  I love his recent work, too.  
I feel differently. I have never liked his solo work. I know that it's well done for the most part, I just don't connect with his outlook. I do really like old Simon and Garfunkel material though.
although preferring classical music Paul Simon stole my heart in my young years and I still listen to him when I feel nostalgic. The one album I play most is The Paul Simon Song Book, totally acoustic just him and his guitar and he is quite a picker. The guy is a complete one off and it will be a very sad day for me when he goes. Long life and a happy retirement Paul.
