Paul is Done

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.

He gets little notice for his guitar playing and his arranging.  Check out his one-man version of "Surfer Girl" on youtube (played at a Brian Wilson tribute concert).  I think it's brilliant.
