Fan Mail
hey- great episode on Simon and gar but you neglected to mention the single best aspect of this album, Bridge Over Troubled Waters: if you stand five or six feet away from the album cover and hold your arm out with thumb up to cover Paul Simon’s face, you will see Art Garfunkel looking like he has the worlds biggest handlebar mustache Tx to Paul Simon’s hair. Check it out. I laugh every time. Ok. Cheers and keep up the great work. Hope you can amble over to Jamaica one day and do a legendary Toots and Maytals album some day. They didn’t call him the James brown of reggae or the guy who invented the term reggae for no reason. While he became more of a frat soundtrack during our lives he was nonetheless an amazing musician and icon. his music is without a doubt some of the best off that famous island.
