Just thought I'd put the word out....
The new Paul Simon album, produced by the incomparable Brian Eno, is great!
The new album "Suprise" is stunning. Eno and Simon work perfectly together. And the Brian Eno soundscapes compliment Simon's lyrical and musical genius perfectly...
Anyway, really freaking cool is what I'm saying. The new Dylan's good also.
I just think it's great that 49 years after writing his first hit song Simon is still making great music.
Also check out Brian Eno and the "Long-Now Clock".

Looks to me like a vanity project. A bit too esoteric to be of any practical use, really. In my opinion, the funds could have been better spend, such as on the development of devices that could provide potable water and affordable energy to third world countries. |

I saw the title and thought "Paul Simon is only 40 years old?" |

Sorry, I should have been more clear. |
