Why does Paul hate Kathy´s Song??...It is an absolute stunner.

This has been a point of great interest for me for a while now. When I heard Art sang it during the tour, I was a little dissapointed to be honest. It is such a Paul Simon tune and the agony that is underlying the song is somewhat nullified with Art´s voice.

Any comments??

I would think it would be a favourite of yours, Kath, since it has your name in it! You could pretend he´s singing it to you:)

True!! I´m glad my name is included....I like the song, mostly cause it has my name in it! Kidding, kidding....Yeah, its a good song, but there are other songs that he included Kathy in (eg. America) that I Love much more...:)

well you´re very lucky! The only song I know of that has my name in it was by a group called The Looking Glass in the early 1970s . . . the song they had called "Brandy" was a one-hit wonder, LOL! I never even liked the song, it was about a girl named, well, Brandy, and she ended up being dumped by her boyfriend because he loved sailing the ocean more than her . . . isn´t that pathetic?

I wish Paul had written a song for me:( Some girls get all the luck!

If you were "Born At The Right Time" I guess I was born at the right time, eh? Cause we are the same age (Gooooo 1989!!)

Kathy is also mentioned in the Simon solo "Late Great Johnny Ace" (from Hearts And Bones, 1981) as "the girl from the summer before."

Apparently Paul is still in contact with Kathy, who is now married with a family and living in Wales. She attended the Hyde Park S&G concert in 2004 and usually tries to get to at least one concert on the all too rare occasions when Paul is on tour here

I never seen any other picture of her, other than on the cover of Songbook. Mysterious indeed.

In my opinion Kathy´s Song is one of Paul´s absolutely most beautiful songs. And if Paul doesn´t like it, well that´s typical Paul Simon, isn´t it?
