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
#PaulSimon #TheObviousChild #Live

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.

Two forces come together. Paul Simon and those brilliant drummers. It's from the womb, a heartbeat. Simon constantly triumphs over Garfunkel, he was the mover and shaker. Brilliant!

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".
