      @@MarkRosasco-fi9tj Colbert was hosting Paul Simon on Colbert’s show and Colbert was graciously and generously hosting Paul Simon in a special format that honored and respected Paul Simon as the supreme artist that he is. The choice to have Paul Simon as a guest on Colbert’s show and to honor him in this way was Colbert’s choice and it was not a right to which Paul Simon’s artistry or legend entitles him.
      As for who needs who, we all need each other. In this case, we need to hear the wisdom and artistry of Paul Simon; Paul Simon needs us, his audience, to hear and appreciate the beauty of his talent; and both Paul Simon and we, the audience, need Colbert to make this platform available for such sublime artistry to be expressed and appreciated. There is no “need” among these three aspects that is superior to the other, as the beautiful experience that was witnessed in this video would not have existed without any one of the three aspects missing. Like three legs on a stool, we all need each other for the stool to be strong and provide support.

    Paul Simon's voice has been a part of the sound track on my life - S&G had a place in the record rack in my dad's stereo; some of the first music I ever heard. I have continued to listen. 50 years later and I am still listening and am struck by his ability to distill music and words to the point of poetry and magic...to the essence of something ineffable....but so necessary: water, friendship, home

      Well certainly. Like Dylan. But his work in South Africa and bringing the music and collaboration with musicians and bringing it through his Western Pop lens I think is an amazing example of peace. @@PogueMahone1

      ​@@bobbrush1709 Yep, there is a a strong case there that many of the musicians who played on that album would agree with. They saw night after night on their tour as the world beginning to see their struggle for the first time. The wheels had been turning for many years on the struggle against apartheid, but Graceland shifted it from 2nd gear into 5th in a matter of months.

    Unlike many of Paul's contemporaries who elicit cringes when performing he is still a delight to listen to. Great guitar playing, voice in pitch with a seasoned vibrato, slight falter at the end, he is still as viable an artist now as he was 50+ years ago. Love Paul Simon. Thank you SC from SC for letting the appearance be about him and not you until he asked you a question. This had better be on your highlight reel when its all over.

    This man has never gotten the credit for his guitar playing skills that he deserves. Whenever you see a list of the top guitar players, it always, always ‘electric’ guitar players. Ask any guitar player and they will tell you that ‘finger picking’ is the hardest type of guitar playing to do. He does it flawlessly.
