    In a few days 21st March I will be 89 if spared. Many years ago as a soldier "up country" Yemen on a crappy transistor I heard The sound of silence. A student of classic literature and poetry I knew this guy was something special. Paul is the greatest and I discharged myself from hospital in order to be at Manchester arena to see his Homeward bound show. Paul Simon is a one off and the lady who says his songs and music bring tears to her eyes is not alone, an 89 year old veteran, tough as boot leather tries to pretend he's unmoved, without much success. We will not live forever Paul, but your words will live in people's hearts whilst ever there is music and poetry.

      He is the Poet Laureate of rock. Many years ago, I was told a story of an older English teacher talking about poetry, and a student brought up the lyrics to Paul Simon's The Boxer, and that it was a hit song. The teacher read the lyrics, agreed that it was definitely fine poetry, but a hit song? Someone produced a radio... the teacher was impressed.
      All of us are impressed... and grateful.

      Yes it is a pity, but what else do you expect? This entire project was, as ever, a vehicle for Paul Simon's self-indulgence. He cared as much about those performers as he did about the victims of apartheid on whom he turned his back when he went against the pleas of anti-apartheid organisations and individuals worldwide not to break the sanctions then imposed on South Africa, but what did that matter, compared to his prestige?

    My late mother born in South Africa & my late brother where Paul Simon fans.
    I remember in our teenage years me and my brother would just chill & listen to Paul Simon albums. 👍...my brother used to adore Paul Simon & all his Simon & Garfunkel LPs & CD's. In fact, he learned his own chords on his acoustic guitar while carefully listening to every lyric and chord that Paul played.
    "We're All Destined To Bouncing Into The Graceland ". A.A...Amen.

    I’ve always listened to a the occasional bit of Simon & Garfunkel but I’ve just stumbled across Simon’s solo career. Found this song last week and it’s already one of my favourite songs of all time. Simon’s lyric writing is ridiculously good.

    Grace Land takes me back to my childhood (today I'm 38), this was the dawn of new South Africa. Never understood English but when my sister played this album something trickled in my body and everything made sense. One of my favorite albums. I cannot believe even today something trickles in my body when listening to this masterpiece.

    I watched the Central Park concert last night, hadn't seen it in ages. What amazed me is the complexity of the songs. Rhythms and sequences that would not seem to have any commercial success potential. The backing band were incredible. Truly some of the best session players out there. Just a brilliant melding of styles.
