You can learn something from everyone you meet, If nothing else you can learn you don't want to be like them It's only racist to those who want it to be. It's a magazine, clips are for potato chips and hair

Kodachrome is one of my all time favorites, and I always laugh and think how many nowadays even know what that is?
But I listened to the Graceland stuff posted, and not hearing it in a little while makes me remember how great an album it is.....I still remember when it came out, it was so fresh, and different sounding.....just plain GOOD music. You don't hear anything like it (not saying style wise) today, or for many years. Where has our good music gone?
Saw Simon & Garfunkel in concert in 1970 or 1971. It was one of THE best performance I was ever fortunate enough to attend. To this day several of the songs IMMEDIATELY remind me of that time , who I was with and the concert.
Graceland-- the album-- is my favorite. I love every cut. Filled with great lines, like: "Losing love is like a window in your heart/Everybody sees you're blown apart." Whew. Right.
I did a major plumbing project in my house last winter/spring/summer. S&G were part of the soundtrack to that project; I listened to a bunch of their-and Paul Simon's-stuff throughout. I have been a lifelong Paul Simon appreciator and fan. He's a national treasure. Graceland...that album amazes me every time I put it on. Brilliant. Oh, and remember... one man's ceiling is another man's floor
