I thought they didn't perform together between the Concert in Central Park in the early 1980s and the Old Friends tour in the early 2000s.<br /> Oh, and the Simon website says "August 1983," while the Lyrics book says "1993."

It's not a reference to Carrie fisher, in fact, I doubt this is about Paul at all. This is a character song, and he says something very generic in "a best friend turned enemy", and by saying I remember "once in August 1993" it shows the arrogance of a character who needs to thinks 13 years back to remembmer if when he was wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
