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."

Great song!

I like Peter Bellamy's version- which is just him and his little squeeze-box.

I read a serious academic historiographical study of de Nostredame just recently, so it brought this song back to mind.

Right, that sounds interesting. What's the name of the book?
