No one was saying that all music from the past was great, Jimmy. I could name many songs that were plain awful, but this song, was great and has stood the test of time to be enjoyed by all generations.

When I was living on the street in San Francisco at the end of the sixties -depressed. hungry and feeling the withdrawal from acid, I hitched a ride North across the bridge and this sound came over the radio... It fit like a glove.

Hmmm...oh yah I remember the first time it was released with so many others and magic was in the air you breathed and somehow some of us were lucky and came through the drugs to what really happened and things were never the same...the music of our day by so many artists, so unusual keeps on singing though those days will never return...but they do in songs ike this...Paul Simon is a genious... the words of all his songs are like that age that is passed ....amazing what happened...
