Hi Evan. Thanks for sharing this piece of your personal journey of your 20s. It amazing how we lived life at that age. I have many an adventure at that time myself. I think yours was definitely filled with some inspiration by some beautiful words by Paul Simon. He is such a great artist. Can't wait to read more. Blessings xx Bonnie
Well done, Evan. I too am a diehard Paul Simon fan. Have been since long ago. You’ve done an excellent job of bringing forth the value of his music. Way back when, I wrote a really excellent thesis paper on why Paul Simon should be named Poet Laureate of the United States. A relatively easy paper to write, since the voluminous amount of great poetry from this artist was easily accessible and made for a great opinionated copy and material. Handed it in with the confidence of knowing that I did a kickass job on the paper. Got it back the following week with an F. To say the least, I was pissed as a dog in a hard fight. Met with my professor, asked why he failed the paper. His curt answer was the thesis topic was absurd. I told him it was the first F that I’d ever received on a paper, and I wasn’t happy about that. Brokenhearted to say the least. He re-graded it and gave me a D-. Hell of a guy. Love Paul Simon. Love your essay.
Good tunes
