Love of my life. And I am not ashamed to admit this. He isn't only a huge part of my life, he is a part of myself. I would not be what I am without him. I am fifty years old and loved him from the Sixties on. May he be healthy and happy and live forever.

I am so grateful that I have been able to see Paul in concert. It was at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2016. I will never forget it. Paul’s personality came through…..it wasn’t just him singing and performing his songs to the audience….it was a show that was like you were his friends at his place. It felt personal and intimate. He is so much more than a great musician. He is a deep thinking soul, who has moved so many generations. He’s covered every emotion…..and left an impact on everyone who ever listens to him speak and sing. That’s my humble opinion anyway. ❤

Certainly a most fascinating man. So talented and rich in thought. Paul Simon will be compelled to always be creating. I joyfully await your next work! With respect 💐💕

Such a humble man and great talent.

Paul Simon's voice is so soothing, I love to hear him explain the little details of how he comes at creating a song. It's both fascinating and a melody all its own.

What a fantastic musician. The songs are all fantastic one in a lifetime hero 🦸‍♀️

10:26 Paul McCartney said the same, his best songs just came to him and he doesn't even know how. What a precise thinker Paul Simon is!

A vast array of magnificent songs. At least 25 are classics.

Amazing, amazing, amazing talent. The BEST songwriter and guitar player on Planet Earth, probably the other planets, as well...❤️❤️✌🏽✌🏽

Hes so special....hey Paul!!....its very interesting that his lyrics never came first.....for me, maybe half of the songs I ve ever written, start with lyrics.....then phrasing n melody.....then guitar......Sometimes the guitar work first will inspire vocal melody. You never know....it is kinda strange. I never work very hard on making one happen though, they usually come fairly easy to start. To finish them is another story...Paul has given us some of the best........Hank, Bob n Mr. Mcartney.......3 of the AllStars favorite AllStars.....What diversity.....Music/Magic......Thanks again for this interview

Paul Simon speaking about his childhood musical discoveries reminds me of myself. At least one of us became creative.

great interviewer. he lets paul talk and stays out of the way.

You're very talented man... musically genius !

Paul simon: my favorit musician!! Great, he spoke about Jacques Brell and I am i.. :)

legend

love it

His recordings, his song writing really became heavily reliant on rhythms - African, South American etc - I wis he would make an album of songs that were like those Brill Building songs - under three minutes with a strong hook - catchy pop songs like Feeling Groovy, Red Rubber Ball, etc -

Bridge Over Troubled Water would have seemed to be appropriate for Ground Zero as well.

EE-YORGE Gershwin.... Love it.

This is filmed in a movie-teater I've been to many times. Would prefer to meet Paul Simon instead of watching a new movie though :)

I agree with Paul Simon that CD’s are just too long. I thought so when they first appeared and continue to think so but that may be a moot point nowadays.

Surprised he doesn't mention Van Morrison!

24:43 he almost remembers to say Biggie

Paul seems down and out,,,,,a very slight malaise....Im not sure if it means he is depressed or tired from traveling. Jet lag can kick your butt.

Can’t bring himself to say Dylan, among the songwriters 😂

Paul, you forgot Carole King

where are they??...sitting at a diner???....pretty shotty

....French :)

LoL He will NOT say "Dylan" for love or money! Sorry Paul, for all the technique you've picked up over the years, you'll never be Dylan. And Ira Gerswhin was a brilliant lyricist - you don't need $10 words on every line to write great lyrics.

Such nerdy interviewers

Blind Blake much better guitar player and he was very lucky

Barely audible

So Boring. He can barely put a sentence together He may be a great songwriter but his monologue puts me to sleep.
