Stranger to Stranger
Today's the day ....................... for clever words
This is the new Paul Simon album 'Stranger to Stranger' that we heard a number of the tracks from last night.
I don't think I had ever fully appreciated how clever Paul Simon is with the lyrics of his songs. I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions last night. Here's a good example of the sort of thing I mean in his song 'Wristband'.
He changed the lyrics of one of his songs last night to make it very pertinent to the American Presidential Election. The vote-counting was, of course, actually happening across America while the concert was on - and the song was an amusing reminder of that fact.
Much less amusing - indeed completely incomprehensible - was the result of the election that we all woke up to today ...........................
