Paul Simon tribute on CBS tonight

I'm quite excited about it.

I think that out of all the wonderful songwriters in the world during my lifetime, he's my favorite.

at the old Foxboro Stadium. I'll never forget it.

"America" is such an amazing song, and I loved that I got to see it performed live.

like 100,000 people, give or take. We decided to go last minute, wandered into the crowd and while we were getting settled, realized we were next to my sister’s best friend and her husband.

It was a great show.

Besides it being too short, my only complaint was that it didn't end with something fun. I like "Sounds of Silence" very much, but it felt like a bit of a let-down after all the fun that was going on.
