Should I say "I'm glad I made you cry?"<br />Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad-- and I CAN say this-- that I wrote this blog. I did it to help myself understand what Simon was saying, and to hear the feedback of others who agreed or did not. It has been a very fulfilling experience, and through it I have "met" fascinating and wonderful people from all over (I just responded to a post from China).<br />So thank you, and thank you for reading what I write. It's always the biggest compliment that-- with all the other things they could do with their time-- people choose to spend it reading my blog and sharing their thoughts on Simon's work. So I do feel appreciated-- but it's always nice to hear! <br />Another Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490204558031016152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824464142604361129.post-17655531639658369092019-08-29T12:43:44.974-07:002019-08-29T12:43:44.974-07:00Another Paul: I'm not sure if the right thing ...Another Paul: I'm not sure if the right thing to say here is "I'm glad I could make you cry"?<br /><br />But it's true that I really enjoy your blog. As I was reading I've often thought how amazing it is that someone is spending so much time to research these great songs and to share it with all of us - for free! Just because you enjoy the great music that Paul Simon makes and because you want to share this joy and your knowledge about the songs.<br /><br />So I thought I HAD to let you know how much I in turn enjoy reading your work. It's obvious that you're spending a lot of time on your blog, so I thought it was important to let you know that your work is being appreciated. Because it really is.Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178553513283461128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824464142604361129.post-12669692580577652032019-08-22T20:50:03.820-07:002019-08-22T20:50:03.820-07:00Unknown-- Thanks, and now you have me tearing up.....Unknown-- Thanks, and now you have me tearing up... <br />I have been working on this blog since 2009, and this is one of the nicest responses I have ever received. <br />And thank you also for letting me know that my effort is worth it, that by explaining these songs I enhance rather than detract from the experience of them. It has always been my intention in writing these essays. <br />Well, that-- and to meet others who enjoy Simon's work as much as I do.

Your last few par...That was.. absolutely beautiful. Your last few paragraphs actually made me cry. Granted, I had Paul Simon playing on the background, but still.<br /><br />Your writing is often incredibly poetic. I've been reading your analyses of his songs on and off for some weeks, and I'm really enjoying it. It makes me enjoy Paul Simon even more, which is quite an accomplishment. Thank you for your time and dedication.Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178553513283461128noreply@blogger.com
