Simon & Garfunkel - America (from The Concert in Central Park)
Simon & Garfunkel - America!
Paul Simon was born on the 13th of October 1941 and celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday and what can you say about the guy? One of the really great singer-songwriters of the past century or indeed any time. An artist in every sense of the word. I heard someone say on the radio that when they were handing out Nobel Prizes they should have given one to Paul and indeed to Leonard as well. Look around you now where has it all gone? Plastic culture. Where has America gone? Loaded by Simon & Garfunkel ~ with thanks.
