Rather cruel to have tattooed the bridge of that poor kid's nose.

Watched "A Serious Man" last night. While it probably wouldn't have "fit" on the soundtrack, this song seems appropriate in theme.  |

Eno's contributions make this tune more creative and interesting than it would be with just Simon.

I know this is excellent – thus the 8 – I wish Simon’s sole work grabbed me more than it does – somehow it leaves me cold – perhaps that oddly milquetoasty voice (that strangely, went so well with Garfunkel’s ethereal tenor) just doesn’t meld that well with this astounding lyrics and music – I’m glad others enjoy Paul Simon more.

OMG!! I'm shocked!! No, really. This is an outrage! I mean, who'd have thought Simon pure would have done such a thing. What's the world coming to?  |

I can't figure if you're implying that's a good thing, or a bad thing? |

this sounded good at the coffeeshop —-i need to check this out—-heard another song i really liked from this and was listening to some of the album once but forgot about it. Eno is on this? Interesting.

The beginning 20 seconds makes me think this song's going to suck...and then comes the light strum of the guitar followed by the man himself.
I'm counting back on the bars in the rating dist: 10, 9, 8, 7...there's a lot of 6, 7, 8. I'll go with crowd I guess.

He has gotten it right so many, many times—most song writers could only wish to be half as good. |

Guitar sounds a lot like something from Summers and Fripps "I Advance Masked" album, especially in the intro.

So what, get over it. Eddie Vedder? Always seems to sound like Eddie Vedder, same boring crap. Aw shucks music lovers, get a life. This tune is one of Simon's better ones in recent years in my opinion. Melodic, nice harmonies, even if they're dubbed harmonies.
What this guy said.  |
