Radio Paradise (mobile)

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
In a couple of days they come and
Take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard

Paul Simon is another of those artists that doesn't spring immediately to mind when I'm asked who my favorite artists are, but he really is one of my favorites. He gets overshadowed by the likes of Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg, Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, and Todd Snider, which is sad, because he's got such a great body of music. I'm gonna go practice my whistling now... Paul is still making great music. Whistle on... [ Reply ]

She kept describing it as a comedy, but it never really came off as the kind of funny I was thinking it would be. Then we watched it about a year later and for some reason it sunk in. It's a very darkly funny comedy where everyone is at least a little bit crazy. Moonrise Kingdom is very much of the same vein and we went to see it with the in-laws. We all really enjoyed it.

They don't have to consider the opinion of the artist, who's sick to death of playing or talking about "Sounds of Silence" or "Tea in the Sahara" or "Begin the Beguine." Very well said! [ Reply ]

So, what do you suppose his RP rating would be? 1? 2? Back in the 1980's, I read an interview where Simon trashed all of his "Simon and Garfunkel" era songs. That was when I began to question his integrity, and certainly his taste. How disingenuous is it to claim that your work (beloved by millions), work that made you famous, is crap? Does he give all of his royalties directly to Garfunkel? Donate them to charity? It's also quite disrespectful of the people who bought his music. Sting did the same thing, and it was equally distasteful. Then there was the (very profitable) violation of the South African embargo... Desmond Tutu has still not forgiven him, and neither will I.
