- In 1975, Paul Simon released his fourth solo album. The title track, “Still Crazy After All These Years,” was inspired while Simon was going through a rocky period in his life the year before, and it ended up being a song that so perfectly speaks to working through the beginnings and the endings of life that it has been heralded as the “Auld Lang Syne” of popular music. From when he first shared the song while he was still in the process of writing it on the Dick Cavett show, to his famous performance of it on Saturday Night Live dressed in a turkey costume, find out the backstory of this tune by one of music’s most masterful writers in the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast.

At ten years old, I will always remember when Paul sang this song while dressed in a giant turkey outfit on the 1976 Thanksgiving weekend show of SNL. I was just beginning to understand tongue in cheek humor at that age.
Awesome as always Janda...Great way to kick off the New Year...Thank you again and Keep On Rockin!!!

Those MUSCLE SHOALS guys were incredible! Only one of them are still alive
Came here because I heard a great parody of "Still Crazy" ("Still Jail-Free After All These Years" by the Parody Project) and wasn't familiar enough with the original to truly appreciate the parody. You've done a great job of giving the backstory to Simon's song... and now I'm subscribed! Looking forward to getting caught up on your work 👍🎶
Thanks so much! Welcome aboard!
Do you really couldn’t have the clip from Dick Cavett. That would’ve been awesome
