Nice to see S&G, my all-time favorite musicians with The Who, getting some love on FR!! Proud to say I was at the concert in Central Park in 1986 and saw Paul at the Hard Rock in Florida lately. What a great concert! Played for 2 hours without a break at age 70+! The first winner of the George Gershwin award for popular songwriting.
And you never saw him in any major scandal. Always kept a sane head on his shoulders even as a liberal; never went overboard like so many of his peers.
I hope to see him in concert again.
Saw Simon in concert for the first time two years ago. The concert was held the day after Bin Laden was killed. I know Simon’s a big lib, but right at the start of concert, he said he was glad justice was finally done. Plus the rest of the concert was excellent. His newest songs aren’t nearly as good as his old ones, but fortunately he sang mostly his old hits.
