Well, the opening line to this song was a bit of a surprise I must say....

Did you know that the then unknown BB wrote to Paul Simon asking if he could use the lyrics and Simon said 'Sure' ? True!

Simon said...

I knew nothing of that whatsoever: I'd never heard the Paul Simon song before either until this week. Was a bit surprised to say the least.

Good song though...

Isn't it? I'm a big fan of early S&G.

I'd never heard this S&G song, but I was aware that Billy had 'ripped-it' off.

Billy tells us of his love, entertaingly and and at length of his love for all things S&G in 'The Progessive Patriot.'
