That's sad. He sounded good on NPR promoting his new album a couple weeks ago. But he is 74 now, and no one's vocal cords get that far unscathed. Maybe he was just tired.


Especially is you "smoke yourself a J." PP who was disappointed by the concert, and DH just forwarded this to me. Paul Simon is getting ready to retire "because music no longer holds any interest for me." http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/paul-simon-retirement/story?id=40215974

Gotta say-- it showed in his performance.

I felt that way when we saw Willie Nelson last summer. Luckily, I was really there for the opening band (Old Crow Medicine Show) but seeing Willie was a bonus. I ended up almost being embarrassed for him. He looked--and sang--like he was 1,000 years old, and he kept stopping for the audience to finish the "famous" parts of his songs. Yeah, you can do that every now and then, or once during a song, but he did it almost every time. I wanted to yell "Sing the damn song, we're here to listen to YOU!" It was just so blah.

Brand New at Meriweather! I've been a fan since their debut album and they rarely tour.
