Paul Simon at 65

+ Am I right if I proclaim that Paul Simon is one of the best songwriters ever?. Yes, you are, yes, I am right, the guy made such a tremendous amount of perfectly crafted, superb pop songs, that it is amazing that he is not compared to the same height of other great artists such as Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, ...

+ Now, that he is about to release an essential, The Essential Paul Simon, he titles, it is a good moment to revise him and include him in the list.

* Listen to Cecilia,

* and to For Emily, wherever I may find her,

* and to The Boxer,

* and to Kodachrome / Maybellene.
