People!! :)
I have finally understood what PS said in concert from 1984 Tour in Illinois :))
You know "..i´m hungry for learning.." and very crazy about what Paul Simon said on his concerts, ´cause i´ve never been to, but have an opportunity to hear the recordings from that time.
So, here we go - if someone is interested :)
He was talking much on these concerts, especially in Illinois (i´ve heared three btw).
Before the song Jonah he talked about his road (tour), cause he was on the road. I already wrote somewhere..here btw (http://www.paul-simon.info/PHP/showthread.php?thre
ad=4056).


Then there was a song Hearts & Bones and the next song was 50 Ways. And he said the following:

"When my.. when my son was about three years Old, i was starting to teech him about rhymes, you know sort of.. kind of.. sublimely slip him into the family business, sorely speeking..Eeh.. So I.. first stuff i chilled him with like.. i said like ´sleep out the back, jAck, make a new plan, stAn´:))) now my son is eleven and he is deep .. deep (someone in the audience suggested smth) he is deep interpunk.. exactly :))) deeply interpunk. The other day he was.. i saw him..how.. like a big A written on his wrist and the circle around it. And i said.. eeehm.. yeah - i said what is the A? what is the A down for? He said: ´Anarchy´:) He said: ´right´. So what .. what is that mean that.. you´re an anarchist? He said: ´that´s right!´ I said: ´well.. you know.. interesting philosophical choice´. Just out of curiosity like: ´what do you think an anarchist is?´ He said it is someone who´s definitely not a preppy :)))) For fathers day this is his present to me - this ghettoblaster over here. And sitting inside this ghettoblaster there´s a cassette.. And sometimes, occasionally people ask me if they can use one of my songs as a commercials, you know to sell-off private (?? smth very rapid ?? i didn´t catch). But.. being a fabulously wealthy guy, i say.. i just say NO! But this commercial here.. it came with.. it came with a.. demo of a song, which i really think is worth listening to, so i´m gonna play it for you"

And he plays the Midas Demo on his ghettoblaster (boombox:). For now i don´t fully understand the lyrics. Of course i can here The Sound Of Silence...:))) of Midas
Ohh.. maybe it´s something like:

Midas (automotive service)
Midas (NYSE: MDS) is a chain of automotive service centers. In the main markets of the United States and Canada, Midas stores are company-owned or franchised. In the 17 other countries it operates in, the service centers are either licensed or franchised. The chain was originally known as Midas Muffler as they specialized in the replacement of mufflers. In recent years, they have marketed themselves as Auto Service Experts, as they are capable of performing most routine and common automobile service, including brakes, fluid changes, and suspensions. The company was founded in 1956. The name Midas originates from the king Midas and his golden touch, hence the slogan "Trust the Midas touch".

Also in the beginning of the show i heared:

"This first song i´m gonna do i´ve recently been told as in the baby boom edition of trivial pursuits.
So if you draw the card that says ´what Paul Simon´s song comes from a name of a dish from a chinese restaraunt?´ - it´s Mother And Child Reunion :))"

I firstly thought that the card is the ticket to his concert, where this question is written and Baby Boom is smth that´s connected with the boom in the popularity:)) Oh, I was so stupid thinking like that :)))
But after i had known that Trivial Pursuits is a kind of a table game, i was very lucky that i understood Paul Simon!! Oh, i´m so proud of myself :)))))))))))

Listening to these three concerts (that i have got some weeks ago - thank you guys again!!!) plenty of times helped me to understand it more clearly.. I have a good mood now to share it with other people!!!!!!! Hooray!!!! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
