    Lyrics:
    We had a lot of fun
    We had a lot of money
    We had a little son and we thought we'd call him "Sonny"
    Sonny gets married and moves away
    Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
    Sonny gets sunnier
    Day by day by day by day

    Paul recently celebrated his 80th birthday. He's one of the greatest legends in the history of recorded music.

    After seeing this concert again, timeless and human in the best possible meaning of the word, restores a bit of my faith that we humans ARE capable of saving the planet and all who sail in her. Paul Simon and a few other musicians of the 60s and 70s make me feel alive again.

    I always loved Paul Simon (Graceland is one of the top ten albums from the 80's in my book) but for the past 5 years( i'm 50 now) all of his musics are really starting to take a deeper meaning - to become more real in the flesh. Either i'm getting older or just receding into a "obvious child".
