Austin City Limits Interview with Paul Simon

[@nancywarren7331]

Fascinating! ❤

[@sheverleyclacken3676]

I didn’t understand a lot of that. All I know about music is I love the rhythm and the lyrics but Paul has a talent of making everything sound so interesting. What a remarkable man, singer, songwriter, musician.

[@mayavalle5816]

I feel smarter after I hear Paul speak, what a great teacher.

[@lucygirl4926]

Every time I think he's going to answer in a certain way, Paul surprises me. He is such a unique thinker, man!

[@energypractitioner7000]

Most brilliant & talented songwriter, ever! Not to mention wise, kind & compassionate!

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

This guy is a iconic songwriter kids, listen to his music and take notes.

[@neoxenia7014]

For me personally Paul Simon and Mark Knopfler are my all time favorite singer/songwriters, love em' both.

[@leticiam8804]

Me too ❤

[@steveg219]

What a great composer and articulate music expert!

[@baxtermakungwa8025]

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

baxter makungwa I'm going to call A a Chuck from now

[@maryjensen5716]

Paul Simon Will always be of the moment for me. Incredibly talented poet and songwriter.

[@kenmario6284]

In the early 70s I was around 11 and The Graduate was having its first TV broadcast. I was banished to my room early that night because it was such a “dirty movie”. So from the top of the steps I listened closely for the “dirty” parts. Instead....I heard this music. This guy has been my idol ever since.

[@eppityrrell8236]

Love him brilliant song writer...he tells a story so interesting... giving us all a music lesson ✨

[@greenbeagle13]

Still the best... after all these years.

[@1962RJP]

[@sevtaptincer8194]

If he was a teacher/lecturer he would be a very good one and the students would love him. 💖👏💗

The man is a genius.

[@DavidBressette]

sad music is not music anymore much love Paul simon

[@corneliamartens9187]

Thanks for posting.

[@jolijnattema1638]

He looks great for someone who is 75

[@KStoneTexas]

He has a young wife

[@unhooked25]

Great entertainer for sure. But I wonder if he still thinks back at all the crap he learned in High School

[@maryjensen5310]

It’s a wonder he can think at all.

[@danlevay5657]

But his lack of education hasn’t hurt him none.

[@kenmario6284]

Oh he can read the writing on the wall.

[@gerrylipsky7045]

Someone should put him on to LCD Soundsystem.

[@maddymud]

is he being interviewed by Kurt Loder?

[@NicoleKrawczyk]

What he says at the end about always sounding a bit flat even though he hears it to be correct might have to with losing perfect pitch with age. Rick Beato discusses this problem musicians seem to have as they age. He thinks he's 'in tune' as he has done his whole life, only now he isn't. It seems consistent with what he's experiencing. Someone tell him.

[@kenmario6284]

@mikron I think Paul has always sung slightly flat. His vocal clarity has diminished with age and he has a slight rasp now. However I have always felt his singing was slightly flat, to the point that it was practically his “style”.

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

Wrong Paul, in singer songrwitter, actually rappers became the next popular thing. Its music relies alot more on beats and repetiveness, than song structure, so I guess the musical form is what suffered a greater blow.

[@wepipe]

Hmmm ? seems to have a somewhat limited vocabulary, for an otherwise apparently bright wordsmith ? Interesting, 'creative person' mind wise ?

[@kirkhawaii]

Did you listen to the whole interview?

[@candyanderson6479]

Paul, I heard you ask people to build you guitars and so they do and in return you never pay as agreed? Not cool at all. These people are not wealthy as you are and put a lot of hard work into it. You think the material and labor is free?

[@paulholyfield]

Huh, he seems like a thoughtful, reasonable, and fair man.

[@billwilkie6211]

Prove it or shut up

[@kenmario6284]

Paul Simon is well known for opening his wallet and paying top dollar for great musicians and top of the line instruments, not to mention doing entire tours where the money goes to charity. I think you’re passing along some bad info. Gotta wonder where that’s coming from.
