^ Thanks for the tips about the recent albums,
Surprise and
So beautiful or so what.
For me, Simon`s S and G songs were his best, though his solo albums also have their high-points;
Graceland, of course being a triumph.

Don`t think S and G ever behaved like this guy`s rabbits !

^ That`s right, and that`s why
Only Living boy in NY starts out, " Tom, get your plane right on time. I know your part`ll go fine." Simon wrote it to tell Garfunkel, "Your solo acting career has my blessing." Nice gesture, nice song.
More trivia: Out of his early years doing the UK folk-club circuit, Simon crafted the beautiful but sad
Homeward Bound song. Apparently while changing trains at Crewe Station, he came up with the lines, "I`m sittin`in a railway station. Got a ticket for my destination..."
Anyone else who`s changed trains at Crewe knows what a bleak, banal place it is, yet Paul Simon came away with an absolute jewel...
