Celebrity Birthdays Today: Paul Simon, Kelly Preston, Kate Walsh & More!
2011-10-13 21:51:00 Happy Thursday, readers! The weekend is almost upon us, and thank God! It’s been one craaaazy week! In today’s edition of Celebrity Birthdays, an Osmond turns 52, Borat turns the big 4-0, and the Red Rocker is 64 years old today. Guess who? Happy Birthday, Paul Simon! The singer is 70 years old today. I grew up listening to the music of Simon & Garfunkel, thanks in part to my father, who was instrumental in introducing us kids to all things music. I have many memories of listening to ‘The Sounds of Silence’, ‘Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme’, and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’. Next year marks the 25th anniversary of Simon’s ‘Graceland’ album, and a tour is currently in the works, most likely concurrent with the release of a ‘Graceland’ box set reportedly set for May 2012. Happy Birthday, Kelly Preston! The wife of John Travolta is 49 years old today. Preston has taken some time off to be with her fam...

Song Of The Day - "The Late Great Johnny Ace" by Paul Simon
2010-10-09 17:12:00 Song Of The Day - "The Late Great Johnny Ace" by Paul Simon from "The Concert In Central Park" For those who follow my posts on Facebook, I said I wouldn't post a John Lennon song...but I guess I let some of the hype sink in today on his 70th birthday. My views on Lennon are clear...with the Beatles, he was amazing...solo his output was patchy at best and downright silly at its worst. Here's Paul Simon's tribute to John Lennon performed live in Central Park from Simon & Garfunkel's legendary reunion concert on September 19, 1981. I was at this show...pretty close to the front as well. A memorable show...a "soy bomb" moment (Bob Dylan/Grammy Awards) before there even...

Paul Simon - Late In The Evening (1980)
2007-07-20 07:30:00 In a career dating back to the 1950s, Paul Simon has established himself among the best and most popular songwriters of the rock era. Growing up in Queens, NY, Simon befriended schoolmate Art Garfunkel, who had an angelic tenor voice, and the two teamed up as Tom & Jerry, taking the names of the cartoon characters. In the winter of 1957-1958, they scored a chart hit with "Hey Schoolgirl"; both were 16 years old.Simon continued to try to score hits in the late '50s and early '60s, reaching the charts briefly in 1962 in the group Tico & the Triumphs with "Motorcycle" and under the name Jerry Landis in 1963 with "The Lone Teen Ranger." He and Garfunkel teamed up again as a folk duo in Greenwich Village, signed to Columbia Records, and released Wednesday Morning, 3 AM (October 1964). The album flopped initially, but Simon, who had been spending a lot of time in England, was picked up as a solo artist by CBS and recorded The Paul Simon Songbook, released only in Great Britain in the sp...

Album Review - ?Surprise? By Paul Simon
2007-02-21 17:47:01 Surprisingly good new album from Paul Simon… nothing like his old Simon and Garfunkel days, most certainly progressed a huge amount as a songwriter/singer, and he’s possibly become a lot more sour than he was when he was young. I did read an interview in NME or something and he said he thought all music from the 60s was crap, and that he finds it hard to find music he likes enough to listen to.. hmm… I think he might be bullshitting for effect. Nevertheless, this is a marvelous album. Fantastic production and ’soundscapes’ provided by Brian Eno, there’s a genius blend of different rhythms (DnB, Jamiroquai-style-funk, some trip-hop beats) over Paul’s classic melodies lyrics and guitar playing. By Jimmy Cheetham (you can see Jimmy’s stumblings around the internet here).
