I play it at least once a week. It was written by Paul Simon.
Thanks for the post!

I didn't realize Paul Simon wrote it, or that they were so popular.
Thanks again to Tom Hank's playlist reminder.

Imagine, if you will, an alternate universe where they were still all alive and performing together. Wonder how much that ticket would be.
