still crazy after all these years

stephen, jacqui, chris and i went to see paul simon at wembley last night. paul simon has been rather squeezed out of my playlist recently (by rufus, ron sexsmith, ryan adams, amongst others) and i hadn't really given much thought to the gig until yesterday morning when i put on his most recent cd ("surprise"). and then i was reminded of why i was such an avid fan for so many years. he is one of the truly great songwriters of the 20th century - and not even stephen can deny that.

it was a fantastic concert (although the sound balance wasn't very good - and it wasn't loud enough) - a large number of crowd-pleasers (the boxer, bridge over troubled water, you can call me al) interspersed with newer tracks - and even my own all-time favourite duncan.
