Today I'd like to pay homage to two musical geniuses/silver foxes: Simon and Garfunkel. Yes, their sweet music raised me to be the musical aficionado I am today, and if I could, I would make sweet love to Garfunkel's jerry curl.
With such musical morsels as "The Boxer" and "America," S&G have established themselve as lyrical masterminds. What kind of person would I be today had Mr. Tucker, my high school English teach, not made me analyze the labyrinthine poetry in Sounds of Silence? I don't even want to think about it.
The following recording is S&G performing "Homeward Bound" at the infamous Monterey Pop Festival of 1967, where, I might add, Jimi Hendrix made his American debut as the most bad ass guitarist to grace this Earth. Had God not screwed up and sent me here in the era of musical purgatory, I would have been front row and center at this festival throwing my panties on stage and having my mind blown repeatedly by the slew of music genius.
This next video conveniently comes with a brief explanation behind the genius that is Sounds of Silence. The harmonies these two little scamps muster are absolutely incredible, and in all of their songs, the guitar is timeless.
Really, if you don't like S&G, you have no soul. What's worse, you have no taste, and I don't think it's acceptable to not have a working knowledge of these two songstresses/musical craftsmen. I love them, Michael Sullivan loves them, and poop on anyone that disagrees.
I don't know how to say this but...I'm kinda a big deal. I'm Amy Morby. People seem to like me because I'm polite and rarely late. My hair smells of cinnamon. I try to pattern my life after Stevie Wonder whose tears cure wounds of the heart and other things of that nature. I accquired my wealth in the late 80's after spearheading a massive windmill farm project. I now host many PBS telethons. I'm actually best friends with lavar burton...don't tell data.
Also, one time I made a portfolio. Here you will find an extensive repertoire of my technical writing shenanigans.
