| | Strange crime story | | Posted in the New York Post and Rolling Stone 2/4/10. A depressed man named Rafael Ramos entered a Big Apple Citibank claiming he was Paul Simon and attempted to withdraw $4,300 out of the Graceland singer’s bank account.

Paul Simon concert Reviews
| | Melbourne 2009-06-26 | | Saw Paul and Art last night here in Melbourne and, despite the fact that I am a lifelong fan of both individually and as Simon and Garfunkel, I have to say that this was the best concert I have been to. The two hour set list (including a twenty minute burst of individual hits by both Paul and Art) was simply superb, the harmonies as pristine as ever (having, if anything, matured with age), Paul was in his element as the centre of the stage´s musical universe, and the backing band (led by the unc
