 | Hi folks,
There is this article from Rolling Stones with a great series of pics.

Last paragraph:
Paul Simon`s career has been a little rocky since his two forays into world music. He spent seven years crafting The Capeman, only to see it universally panned and close after just sixty-eight performances. The recent reunion tour with Art Garfunkel was a great show, but not exactly a forward looking project. His only two albums since Rhythm Of The Saints ` 2000`s You`re The One and 2006`s Surprise ` were met mostly with indifference (though I`d argue they both had many strong moments). He hasn`t seemed cool in a very long time, which is probably why he agreed to spend a month at BAM reviving his past. The Under African Skies show was a strong reminder that he was one of the very few 1960s rock stars still putting out brilliant music twenty years on. Decades from now, Graceland will most likely be seen as Simon`s crowning achievement, and this show was a wonderful reminder of that fascinating chapter of his career.
Also, two videos with David Byrne:

| Fantastic Markie! Lol isn´t the first picture a classic? Contrast the look on that guy´s face who looks like he´s trying to prevent the photo being taken, and Paul in the foreground. Love his new sense of style too, the best we´ve seen in quite some time I think. |
