Don't know what a slide rule is for

I am more interested in why the little birds are dipping into that trash can outside of the university student center than deep research and outcomes. And hard work.

Maybe this is hard work.

On Repeat: Before you set your sails / Drift in the breeze

And I turned my amp up loud and began to play

1980?? I thought all these years that this was off the hat-and-mustache-era Still Crazy After All These Years, that I heard it on the radio much earlier than I did. It appears to be the only song off this album that garnered widespread notice or notoriety. 

This album that was concurrent with a movie??

[scrambling toward Netflix...aaaand nada.]

Has anyone seen this movie? It sounds vaguely familiar, like I might have seen it on Early HBO. Rip Torn! Lou Reed! David Sanborn!

Ah, anyway, this playing-live-in-a-music video of the album/movie's Big Hit Single kills it.

You and me were such good friends

And then there are the times you hear the song too late.

On Repeat: My Sweet Imagination

Another one that prompts an immediate, visceral reaction. I feel all buzzy inside when this plays. Over and over again. Loudly.



Is there another Simon song that you can and should crank up?
