Music Lives 365: October 13 Paul Simon

I’m not a jazz artist. Don’t get me wrong now, it’s all music to me. I just played music and if it’s likeable, someone liked the sound, then fine, but I’m not interested in being a jazz musician. I don’t consider myself a jazz musician. I don’t have anything to do with that word.
— Pharoah Sanders

Lenny Bruce Quotes

Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
Miami Beach is where neon goes to die.
I won’t say ours was a tough school, but we had our own coroner. We used to write essays like: What I’m going to be if I grow up.
 
You want to be a writer, don’t know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.
— Paul Simon

Here’s a record lost in time. All and I mean all about another seemingly innocuous small gang murder in 1950’s New York City. It cuts across Latino and White racial divides chronicling the events from the points of all the views of those involved. You can still hear this in its entirety and you deserve to hear this. An important record. Completely failed as a Broadway play upon which Simon lost a bundle of cash. But he went for it and he got it.
