"Sounds of Silence"..Simon & Garfunkel...3 minutes & 59 seconds

[Stuart G]

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. At their peak, I think....

A musical triumph for these brilliant people.....in their town.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Many would argue that Bridge is their best...

I always identified with I Am a Rock my self, but Sounds of Silence is certainly one of the anthems of the age.

Paul Simon wrote some great poetry into his music.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Arguably the best musical-poet laureate of our time.

The genius of Paul Simon will be contemplated 400 years from now.* Just like Mozart or Beethoven are today.





* assuming we don't self-extinguish.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Indeed, though Dylan gives him a run for his money...

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. There is room for many.

Think of this. The world is digitized and can be recovered from memory....forever.


Off the top of my head, I'd add Lou Reed who must have crossed paths with Trump, many times Lou's view of Trump today would be illuminating.

Think Dirty Boulevard.

5. I will never forget hearing this for the first time..in the movie, "The Graduate"

...I will never forget that movie, and never forget this song..

6. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made

Makes me think of Trumpers worshipping their depraved leader!

[Stuart G]

8. Well said...Thank You for the Great Observation!!!!

[Wounded Bear]

12. That and the Evangelicals worshipping their televangelists....

Lot of overlap there.
