Please be polite and do not always complain when it is all about Paul Simon.

Btw, did they heavely edit this tape to erase sung words like fuck or nigger? Or did paul not really sing them? It sounds strange cause you can hear the word but the Volume is set low for half a second.

Bodo: I saw a like from one of the members. I do not know anything what happened and/or erased on this tape. I did not have even the time to listen to it because I was working. Maybe Brenda can tell you more. She uploaded a vid coming from this program and in this way I did a search to "VH 1":

Those are one of my favourite songs on this tape. I mean the Capeman songs.

Paul wrote so many songs in the last 25 years...
and I sometimes wish so much he would play them live (especially those 4 songs from the tape)..
and then those others:

Adios Hermanos
Bernadette
The Vampires
Born in Puerto Rico
Trailways Bus
Hurricane eye
Old
Senorita with a necklace of tears
Darling Lorraine
Father and daughter
Another galaxy
Love and blessings
Love is eternal
So beautiful or so what
Cool papa bell


It seems he has several reasons why he does not play the songs from his last 5(!) albums

Capeman - it is a musical and people would not understand the context
YTO - he wrote songs under the influence of some herbal drug and thinks those songs are not "his"...or whatever
Surprise - The songs are too complex and can not be replicated by the band
So beautiful - well, that album has 2 songs that survived over time (I think this is his best album out of the last 3)
Stranger to Stranger - ? Well, he tried with 3 songs, but I personally think that beside Wristband those songs have a very dulled mood, they are heavy, slow, dark and very complex.
