Surprises

I love Paul Simon, and for years his song have resonated with me - a clear voice forced to sing for an inexaustible swarm of contradicting thoughts and arguments. I can relate. His new CD, Surprise, is knock-down brilliant. I love his words, even when they're off-the-cuff. Here is someone who really knows how to put things well.

From an ABC News interview

"No, I don't write for the fun of it. First of all, a lot of the time it really isn't fun, it's really unpleasant. And then when it happens, fun doesn't begin to describe how great it is. But when you're not in the ecstasy phase, you're in something between, you know, hell and withdrawal."
