Dude, Simon and Garfunkel are ALIVE and WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE THEY BOTH LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! BLESS THIS TIME!!!! And while they may be taking a break from being old friends with one another, they are still worth seeing on their own (although I literally pray day in and day out that they reunite, and if they do, I would literally and figuratively pay whatever to see them play together again… even though I’ve already seen them together twice, which was the best everrrrrrrrrrrrr, and probably already told you all these things already a bazillion times already). Anywho, for Simon & Garfunkel, Paul wrote all the songs, and Art sang them all beautifully, sometimes more so than Paul, so seeing Art solo is essential. I did it before, I did it the other night, and I’d do it again. ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But where for Art thou Paul????

I love me some Paul Simon. Sting, not so much. I love the Police, and a smattering of Gordon Sumner’s solo work (I used to be obsessed with the song and video for ‘All This Time’), but most of his stuff is too stuffy, and slow, and boring. Saw Stingster reunite with the Policemen in 2007, and wasn’t exactly blown away. Then briefly again, when he joined Stevie Wonder for two songs at the 25th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary Concert. That performance fared better in my mind, cause it wasn’t all about him, and cause Stevie Wonder if the f$%king greatestestest. And Sting fared even betterer when he teamed up with Paul Simon for this special tour, and tried his best to be Simon’s Garfunkel and sometime Garfunkel’s Simon, although I still don’t get why Simon won’t juss reteam with Garfunkel and blow everyone’s ears and minds. Sting should stick to doing Police covers, and Simon covers. His take on ‘America’ > ‘Fields of Gold’ or any of that other ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzsnooozefest stuff
Setlist – Brand New Day / Boy in the Bubble / Fields of Gold / Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic / Englishman in New York / I Hung My Head / Driven to Tears / Walking on the Moon / Mother and Child Reunion / Fragile / America / Message in a Bottle / The Hounds of Winter / They Dance Alone / Roxanne / Desert Rose / The Boxer
Encore – Bridge Over Troubled Water / Every Breath You Take / Late in the Evening

Paul Simon
Beacon Theater
May 10th
Paul Simon really aint that crazy after all these years. He’s juss solidly normal, and mad awesomeszsz. And he still sounds eggzactly like he always has. And he still loves his frikkin slow jams. We do too, but kindsa only the S & Garfunkel stuff (he gave us only 2 of them bones), and not that boring-a$$ ‘Slip Sliding Away’ type shaz or the snail-like tracks he chose to play from his new album, which is hactually a pretty good one… for a 69 year old!! LETS SEE YER DAD COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTERER!!!
Simon’s solo catalog is vast, and at its best when he breaks out the latter Graceland & Rhythm of the Saints stuffs. Oh man, we almost jazzed in our pants when he kicked out ‘Obvious Child’ and ‘Boy In The Bubble’ (which made up for that concert that could have been the greatestest concert of all time if he didn’t let other people sing his songs)
We were kinda expecting a sirprize guest at the show. Maybe some Art G-ness? Or how bout Chevy Chase for some ‘Al’ calling (it’s the song that made us fall in love with Paul as a youth)??? There was none of that, and it really wasn’t necessary anywayz, cause we all got a beautiful 2 hour show from one of music’s all-time greeeeeeeeeeeaaattts
Speaking of his iconic status… we don’ts thinks he gets the kinda love that he should from the world. THIS IS A LIVING LEGEND, FOLKS!!! WE MUST CELEBRATE THE/HIS LIVING!!!! ONE DAY PAUL SIMON WON’T BE ON THIS EARTH AND YER GONNA BE SO PISSED YOU DIDN’T CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT HIM WHEN HE WAS LIVINGS!!!!
We literally pray night & gay for his health and for the day that S & G hit the road again and drop some MSG dates on us. we’d honestly pay $300 to see them. only thing else we’d pay that much for is amour et spaghetti con Leonor Watling [lightly NSFW]

A Quiet Place Shush, Money Official Site | Trailers & Mo PG-13 | 90 min Imagine if Jim Halpert took over Schrute Farms, and instead of being so cocky and talky, he had to keep silent (CAUSE LIKE ALIEN BUG THINGS HATE NOISE AND WILL KILL THINGS THAT MAKE NOISE!), and be in a movie you’d […]
Ready Player One Props Culture Official Site | Trailers & Mo PG-13 | 140 min At the close of last year, I bemoaned that The Post was material not worthy of Spielberg’s talents.

The Death of Stalin Gimme Some Pravda Official Site | Trailers & Mo R | 107 min A movie about Stalin’s death and the power struggle to succeed him that immediately followed, in the quick-witted, biting hands of Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop), with a cast of such funny bone ribbers like Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor and Michael Palin (nice name there […]
Winchester Rifling & Stifling Official Site | Trailers & Mo PG-13 | 99 min A long time ago, I was a giant fan of the A&E show – America’s Castles.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Ad Diction Official Site | Trailers & Mo R | 115 min I was like – no way do I want to sit thru a movie where Frances McDormand is making endlessly farty frowny faces and Sam Rockwell is acting his usual fool self to the displeasure of a farty frowned McDormand.
