Sorry, Paul Simon, Kodak is taking your Kodachrome away. Eastman Kodak is discontinuing its oldest film because of falling demand in an increasingly digital age... read the article here :-(

I could never understand why Kodak insisted Paul always apply the registered trademark symbol to all recordings featuring ´Kodachrome´. They should have been paying a royalty for the promotional help Paul´s song must surely have given their product.

Paul himself predicted that this would happen on an interview he gave in Britain in 2006! and he was quite happy about cos he was fed singing Kodachrome.

I suppose as a father it doesn´t do for your teenage kids to hear you singing "when I think of all the crap I learned in high school"!

I learned the meaning of crap with this song,long time ago :-)
Paul´s songs are pedagogical stuff... even not being used at school!

yeah he even used the word in still crazy but is got changed to "tapped out" over time. I glad the Lyrics book have left it at the original.


OFT I´m sitting in my garden at 11 oclock at night, with the laptop, in shorts and teeshirt. This hasn;t been possible for years:))

If this is global warming I like it

This is getting Paul a lot of press, he got mentioned in articles in the Wall Street Journal and the Oakland Tribune in their stories about Kodachrome. Both headlined along the lines of "Kodak is taking Kodachrome away!"
