| Wow!! what a line up - would that I were a New Yorkian. Great to see the Capeman getting another outing - this could be a reignition of Paul Simons career for the younger generation |

| I asked my husband if we could spend the month April in New York... Sure, he said, if you can find someone who will pay for our stay...;-)
Any volunteers can email me....;-) |

| sure all you have to do Ans is arrive early at the first show, meet paul and tell him you´re there for the month as a representive of his ´main" fan website and then he´ll put you up for the month. No problem!! |

| So, this resolve the mystery about "Paul Simon shows" for Spring 2008.
It is nice way to revisit the live catalog in another fashion.
But I do not want to be rabat-joie, but this seems another celebration of his past rather than current career. |

| Well Mirelle, i don´t know - you see Ans already has a history of meeting Paul before the show.
BTW will be in your wonderful capital the weekend after next to watch our lads being hammered by you French ... and thats even before the game starts during the singing of the anthems!! |

| Well mog - I guess Paul might think that there is not really much to do for him anylonger.
But this idea is fabolous IMO, concerts for every stage of his career - and for the first time he shows how important the Capeman was for him. I do not have the feeling this is just for nostalgia like the S&G shows because The Capeman was a big flop for him.
I hope these concerts do not mean that he will finish his touring career with a big last overview...but now he comes into the age he always was refering too as ´terrible strange´ :-(

| i don´t think so Bodo, these concerts appear to be initiated by the Broadway group and they say that Paul agreed to it - so it doesn´t seem to be his idea.
it would be a great finale, but not yet please. |

| No I don´t think so either - not like Paul to give himself a big send-off, he seems too humble for that sort of thing. Well anyway the mystery of the Spring shows is solved :) Disappointed it doesn´t mean a tour, but sounds great nonetheless. Oh and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra were playing here as part of the Sydney Festival! Didn´t realise Paul worked with them. |

| Maybe there is a tour. He is announced for Montreux this year again. I know that they said the same last year, but maybe this time it works.

Right! I prefer Long Island then...;-)
The announcement is also on his myspace site now, but nothing yet about Montreal.
