Still Crazy After All These Years
	Artist: Paul Simon

RIP to the legendary record producer Phil Ramone.

Whatcha listening to this evening?

This is by far my favorite song from Paul Simon's "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" album, and probably my favorite song of his, period. Given the climate in America today, this song is as relevant now as it was when it was released in 1973.

If you have a favorite Simon tune, or anything else that strikes your fancy, please feel free to share with the class.

Lookout, NYC midtown traffic:

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, U2, Paul Simon, Metallica, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Friends and Simon and Garfunkel are among the legendary artists confirmed for a landmark two-night concert event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Sprawling across October 29th and 30th at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the shows will feature Hall of Fame acts sharing the stage with guests and collaborators, honoring their influences and essentially retracing the history of rock in the process. For example, Crosby, Stills and Nash will share the stage with California-based artists while Metallica will lead a hard rock portion of the concerts. Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin will also each front a soul revue with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra.

They're going to cram all these artists who could sell out Madison Square Garden in their own right into a 2 night event? Looking forward to the live stream. We'll keep you posted as acts get added.

Say it ain't so! Kodak announced on Monday that they are discontinuing Kodachrome film.

Farewell, red-eyed friends of our past...

Graceland (25th Anniversary Edition CD/DVD) (Featuring Under African Skies Film)
	Artist: Paul Simon

Last week, I happened upon Under African Skies - an excellent documentary on Paul Simon's excellent Graceland. It's way worth a watch. Here's a favorite from the legendary album.

Bookends
	Artist: Simon & Garfunkel

I'm at mom's cottage on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan- just a little weekend vacation. Keeping my eyes open...

How about some songs about vacations, trips, travels, where you are, where you've been, where you're heading and where you'd like to be heading? Happy trails!

Art Garfunkel left Paul Simon alone in New York to Go act in 1970's Catch-22. Simon wrote this song about being left behind, and susequently included it on the duo's final album Bridge Over Troubled Water.

In 1997 Paul Simon was way ahead of the national conversation when he wrote The Capeman. It didn't work that well as a Broadway show but many of the songs are stupendous and, as he tends to like it, very thought-provoking. "Trailways Bus" is one of my favorite Paul Simon songs and Sara Ramirez makes a really nice addition.

It's challenge time again!

This clip has been offered a few times by posters. Singing both Here Comes The Sun and Homeward Bound, here are Paul Simon and George Harrison:
