Paul is Done


It's so demoralizing that as we grow older, our creativity, talent, abilities go away.  One of my favorites has put out a new album rehashing previous successes, and has announced his retirement.  Relax Paul Simon ..enjoy your days.

He's a great talent and will be missed....if he really sticks to his commitment to give up touring. Seems like we've heard that before from other artists.
The applause and adulation must be pretty addicting.
Also, to my way of thinking, "The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker is the first reggae tune to chart in the US (#9 on Billboard, June 1969).

Nothing new...just remember that Elton John, Rush and Neil Diamond have all announced the end of their touring years. Everyone gets old and tired eventually, some sooner rather than later. Be glad for the many years of touring they gave us, along with their music. Hopefully, Paul Simon still has something left in the tank and will put out a few more records.
