I ran into Paul Simon once in New Orleans..... My wife, as we walked down Royal Street, said "OmiGosh, Paul Simon." and then pretended to check her shoes or whatever as I steamed and said "Yes, it's Paul Simon, can we go now?" I was wearing a T-Shirt from the Red Lion down in the Village (NYC) and it had a wacky underground guy on the shirt. Simon evidently picked up on my 'don't bother the guy' attitude and came up to me and asked me about the Red Lion and the guy on the shirt. We got into a discussion of Irish music and New York and New Jersey.... That's my kinda guy. He was working on that album with the African group at the time......"You Can Call Me Al" and that other stuff. I never cared for Elvis, he was alright but putting him in a class with George Washington is a stretch for me. Anyway. I'm an Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood sort of taste. The Elvis fans can idolize a dead fat guy all they like, more power to 'em. I prefer good driving rock, jazz and blues. But I would despair at the thought of B. B. King being more popular than the founder of our country.
