    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.

      South Africa is the heart of music, in a continent which is the soul of music. I've never crossed an ocean, but I feel myself a part of South Africa every minute of every day. Perhaps from the day I shook Mahlathini's hand, or perhaps from always.

    • @Sootaroot
      @Sootaroot ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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?

      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.

    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.

    I was 12 years old when Paul Simon took me to Graceland. I had just lost my dad through divorce. I didn't want to know he was talking about me, but "Losing love is like a window in your heart. Everyone sees you're blown apart. Everyone sees the wind blow." I listened to this album over and over. I still do. He took my ghosts and empty sockets and gave me Diamonds on the souls of my shoes.
