Paul And Al

[poliphilo]

We're listening to Al Stewart's Love Chronicles (1969)

I say, "How come Paul Simon's very famous and Al's only a little bit famous? They've both got great melodies and intelligent bittersweet lyrics, where's the difference?"

And Ailz says, "The difference is Art Garfunkel."

You see, I love the historical songs.

But Al isn't all about history. Love Chronicles is mostly about love and disillusionment- about lives fulfilled and unfulfilled....

I haven't listened to that one! I love the historics, too; 'Fields of France' really gets to me, predictably enough.
