I had a disagreement with my boss today about how I handled a rude author who insisted I review her book (I work for a community newspaper), and tomorrow I am going to a funeral. Reading your comment made me feel much better!<br />Another Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490204558031016152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824464142604361129.post-59591811050332311392013-08-12T19:14:26.490-07:002013-08-12T19:14:26.490-07:00Well, you are almost as well-traveled as Simon him...Well, you are almost as well-traveled as Simon himself! I'm so glad my blog helped you understand Simon's songs-- that's why I do this. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. You never know when you throw something at the Internet where it will land. My wife has been to Stockholm and loved it-- maybe I will go too, someday. I understand not reading through all of the Capeman songs; maybe someday there will be a DVD of the performance and we can all appreciate it. <br />As for Paul having seen this, I have no idea. The only clue I have is that I praised the song "Spirit Voices" from Rhythm of the Saints, and got the comment: "Thank you." So who knows?

Thank you!<br /><br />I discovered this blog about year ago, when I moved to another city (in this case Gothenburg). In the beginning I did not have so many friends there, and no job, so practically all I did was wander through town with my headphones on listening to S&G, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan. They were my friends there for a while, made me more and more sure that I had done the right thing even though it was hard at the moment.<br /><br />And this blog was certainly a key. It shone a light on the questions about the S&G-songs and helped clear up things I had thought about in Graceland and Rhythm Of The Saints.<br /><br />I must admit I skipped most of the reviews of the songs featured in Capeman, except The Vampires and Adios Hermanos. But I admire the dedication to get every last one of those rascals on print.<br /><br />Then I didn't look at it for a while, until this March, as I was travelling in Nepal. I had just bought Surprise and You're The One, and they stood out there and then as two of his best albums in latter years.<br /><br />So yeah, thanks for the thoughts and ideas on how he might or might not have thought when he wrote what he wrote.<br /><br />Do you know if Paul have seen this? He should.<br /><br />I cheered when he got the Polar Prize Award last year, by the way.<br /><br />Greetings from Sweden,<br /><br />Arvid Svenske<br /><br />http://arvidsvenske.blogspot.se/<br />http://thorellsvenske.blogspot.se/svenskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771181466393330200noreply@blogger.com
