What a great hair job Art. I really like it.

[SophyaAgain]

Yeap, the most peculiar hairstyle :-)

[Doors067]

My question is simple, I think "I am a Rock" is the most peculiar man's point of view and a "most peculior man" is the way that others saw him...Am I right? If anyone knows please lmk what you all think! Thanks

God gave us Simon and Garfunkel for good reason, but it appears that reason has passed, for we have not seen the likes of this level of craft and song for decades. We were blessed and have their music, and the music of many greats from this era. And for this we are truly blessed. Blessed.

la via dell'inferno è lastricata di buone intenzioni

TO go further--there is a LIVING CONSCIOUS within society that is nurtured, matured and USED by creative arttists (there has really been only ONE esception to USING that connective creatity--tyhat being DYLAN but he's another chapter). Therefore--the minds already haver this knowing backward knowledge. That is why young songwrtiers today are more mature than 1965 in terms of general knowledge. Those that are BORN BLIND will ALWAYS be BLIND.but they CAN RUN A WORLD that is SADNESS.

If by Student of Budda you mean :grasshopper" that is fine ...but if you mean it all comes around "full Circle" and this will return than we have learned nothing from the past. Those who are new and know nothing can not create this purity in the future because "Truth is essentially Dead" in mass society since 1992. and Poets young have lost a part of their souls that creates without impurities.. dont vote for OBAMA either he is a corporate Zionist following orders.

[555Nato]

You are just like the student of Buddha.

You say you can tell.But you can't .Nobody actually can.

Life has its Rhythm.Like fall ,winter ,spring and summer.

Keep up the good faith.

Don't vote for Mitt Romney

;-P

[DavelovesRealMusic]

No there wont be you are too optomistic.. That is what makes them unique...because this also represented a time of innocence that is no longer within the fabric of society there CAN NOT be songs of this nature. It stands as a timepiece. After 1967 essentially there were no more songs of purity .cynicsm, and awareness darkened the nature of society. so this purity does not exist. Someone else brought up the HAIR thing.

[555Nato]

Hair issues..Well I can't see them :- ) (is it really an issue?).

And on society and the insensivity today

I will quote Buddha ,when a student told him that he is the best teacher that ever lived and will ever be in the future also.

“How do you know, do you know all the wise men that have ever lived? Do you know all the wise people of the future?”

(Sorry for my English it's not my native language)

In other words.Things come and go.Good and bad.There will be more fine musicians

[DavelovesRealMusic]

You mean ART or Paul they both have HAir issues...all their lives--but this song is so different and poetic....imagine this today--you cant because soviety no longer cvreates souls with this much pathos and sensitivity. the deconstruction of society so to speak. this is a time capusle of when the world still had a conscience.

[DavelovesRealMusic]

Yes--it's the same theme written around the same time. This is a follow up. Paul stopped writing this style around 1967.
