    I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. I sang the songs during my newspaper delivery era. I hope someone was inlfluenced (probably not by me singing but the songs are so strong) so the music will spread throughout time.........
    They sang the anthems of a complete generation (or 2). We should cherish this music that was sang with such beautifull harmony and social relevance.

    I love it! This is their first song together in 11 years. They've got a nine (?) piece band behind them, so Paul Simon does a long intro to get everyone in sync. After 14 bars of vamping (36 seconds) Paul Simon cues Art by shouting "RIGHT NOW". They step up to the mics and come right in together. What a moment.

    I remember when they were heralded for being the first to write and perform songs for a major motion picture..Nothing has changed-they could perform together tomorrow and still sound great and be recognized for how good they are together.

    The lyrics were originally "Mrs. Roosevelt". Paul Simon played riffs of the song as filler music for "The Graduate" during filming. He changed the words to Mrs. Robinson for the movie, but didn't have a completed song at the release of the film. It wasn't till "Mrs. Robinson" became a hit after the movie was released that he finished the song and recorded it. He said the "Joe DiMaggio" line came to him in a stream of consciousness. He wasn't sure what It meant, he just liked the way it sounded.

      ssazerac - Yeah, this song was originally written for Mrs. Roosevelt, First Lady to the President that lifted America out of the Depression, through WWII and into the economic boom, baby boom '50's... It was meant as a nostalgic song about a more innocent, honest time... A church-going time... A more hopeful time... America had lost its way and was looking back... Don't mind Jeff Foster, the world is full of bitter people, hey, hey, hey...

    What a song and I still remember every word by heart...We shall overcome this going into 2022...From Yorkshire UK, living in Montreal Qc for 45yrs. Songs of my youth that are totally unforgettable and are being brought to the forefront by many of today's youth. Do not judge, rather observe and analyze.
