| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Look at what we did to the planet. We ruined the planet. Take away the human beings and all their inventions and all the stuff we've made and the mess we make and you've got a much cleaner planet. It would be a lot healthier than it is right now. Would life be better for a zebra without mankind? Absolutely. Would it be better for the trees? Absolutely. |
| 2 | I really wanted to get off Warner Bros. I didn't think they understood what I was doing on the last couple of albums. They just wanted me to make hit singles, which is not really possible for me. It would be a fluke if I had a hit single. I don't make that kind of music anymore. |
| 3 | I think "Graceland" was remarkable in two different ways. One, it was a very interesting artistic leap that combined cultures in a way that was accessible and gave people great joy and insight into another country. It was very successful as a marriage of different cultures, which is not easy to do. The other thing is it provoked a really interesting political discussion, which really came down to how effective is a cultural boycott if the people that it's affecting most are the people who are being oppressed? And that eventually turned people away from the cultural boycott as a tool of fighting that particular kind of oppression, because it wasn't an efficient tool. It didn't do the job. It did the opposite. "Graceland" was the catalyst that got people into that discussion. It was really Hugh Masekela who focused that discussion and said, "Hey, this is a good thing for South Africa. We want our music out there." |
| 4 | When I listened to what popular music was in South Africa, it wasn't political music. |
| 5 | I think if you have the gift of writing a political song, like those early Bob Dylan songs that were political, it's a gift to be able to write that kind of song. Phil Ochs had it, too. But most other people really couldn't. So you get "Eve of Destruction" or other imitations of those really good songs and it makes it seem like it's frivolous. So you stay in your own world. Somebody said, "If I went to South Africa I certainly wouldn't come back and write a song like 'You Can Call Me Al'." But "You Can Call Me Al" was a pretty interesting song. It starts off and it's about somebody who's completely self-involved and travels to a place where he becomes aware of the universe and the whole world from the experience he has. And essentially that was the gift of "Graceland", as opposed to it tearing down the walls of apartheid. It showed people, it was inspiring without being didactic. And the criticism was, "You have a responsibility to be didactic." |
| 6 | Nobody says you should stop painting when you're 60. Nobody says you should stop writing novels when you're 60. Nobody says that B.B. King should stop playing the blues. So The Rolling Stones go out there and people call them dinosaurs and they say, "What are you talking about? We're reinventing what you can do at our age and if you don't like it, OK, but don't try to stop us." |
| 7 | I like to reinvent the old material, take the songs somewhere they maybe haven't been. |
| 8 | I'm just an artist, because that's my personality trait, a characteristic of how my brain works. I can't figure out a lot of things, I'm not a computer scientist. This is who I am. This is what I do. I make up songs and I try to make them as interesting as possible. |
| 9 | The public will always find the artists it needs. |
| 10 | What I'm thinking about now and what I'm talking about is really not for a huge audience. It would be unusual to find anybody at my age who is selling enormous amounts of records to the record-buying public. |
| 11 | I'm generally enthusiastic when I'm working and when I immediately finish I'm enthusiastic. Shortly after that I don't want to hear it. It's always been my way. It's such an intense process for me and the process itself can take so long, and I get into it so completely, that by the time I've finished a piece of work I'm really finished with it. I'm done. What happens then is I don't do anything for usually a year or so. |
| 12 | I started to build the albums around rhythms in response to my frustration with the album that preceded "Graceland", which was "Hearts and Bones". I felt with that album that I had written some songs that were better than the tracks that went on the album. I couldn't get things to fit together, so I ended up changing the songs to fit the tracks and then I thought, "My demo was better than this". So with "Graceland" I thought I'll just make tracks that I really like and then I'll write the songs, the words, and if I don't like what they sound like set to the music I'd throw things out and start again, which on a couple of occasions I did. |
| 13 | [on recording "Graceland" in South Africa] I did not set out to make a political statement. I was making a cultural statement with political implications. |
| 14 | If a song lives for a couple of years, it's a pretty good thing. |
| 15 | Brian Wilson is a couple of years younger than I am - but not many - and his stuff is still interesting. The same goes for Tom Waits. There are other people doing interesting work, but the people doing it aren't coming from the same history of enormous popular success that I've had. There's a certain expectation that I'm going to reach the level I was at back when I was enormously successful. That may be impossible to do at this point. |
| 16 | Dylan [Bob Dylan] frequently reinvents himself, and at a very sophisticated level. Nobody ever did it better. That's his real genius. He's still interesting. "Love and Theft" is a fascinating record. |
| 17 | I don't see much truth in laurels, period. The forces of habit make you go on. There's an internal engine that's been running since I was 14; I keep an ear out to see if it's still purring and it is. It chronically purrs. Music making is who you are and it doesn't go away. If you love to play music, you're lucky. |
| 18 | The public hungers to see talented young people kill themselves. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Was in the fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi in college with Art Garfunkel. |
| 2 | He is a good friend of Peter Gabriel. Both were recognized by critics for their efforts in the 1980s to use their popularity to bring "world music" to a much bigger audience in the West. Simon covered Gabriel's song "Biko" - about a murdered black rights activist from South Africa - for Gabriel's tribute album "And I'll Scratch Yours", released in 2013. |
| 3 | Honorary member of Saturday Night Live (1975) "5-timers club", for those who have hosted "SNL" five times, even though he's only hosted four times. |
| 4 | Like Steve Martin, Loren Michaels and Mike Nichols, Simon has had his portrait painted by artist Eric Fischl. |
| 5 | Graduated from Queens College of the City University of New York (CUNY). |
| 6 | Even after their divorce in 1983, he and Carrie Fisher continued to date for 8 more years before finally breaking up in 1991. |
| 7 | He admits he is a highly competitive person, which has colored his relationship with Bob Dylan. He was regularly compared (sometimes unfavorably) to Dylan in the 1960s and responded by disparaging Dylan in the press and even putting out a fairly explicit Dylan put-down song "A Simple Desultory Philippic (or How I Was Robert McNamara'd into Submission)". He has since been more friendly towards Dylan, even going on tour with him once. |
| 8 | The song, "Scarborough Fair/Canticles", from Simon & Garfunkel's multi-million selling "Parsley Sage Rosemary And Thyme" (1966) album contains a counterpoint melody with anti-war lyrics. The alternate melody and verse were removed when the song was issued as a single in 1967. That is the version that is most heard and performed today, though the original "Canticles " version can still be heard in the soundtrack of The Graduate (1967). |
| 9 | Awarded the first Gershwin Prize for Popular Music in 2007 by the Library of Congress. |
| 10 | Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1982. |
| 11 | Winner of the British Phonographic Industry Award for International Solo Artist in 1987 following the success of his multi-million selling album "Graceland". |
| 12 | The "sleepy boy" he sings about in his song St. Judy's Comet (from the album There Goes Rhymin' Simon) is his son Harper. |
| 13 | Was nominated for Broadway's 1998 Tony Award as Best Original Musical Score for "The Capeman," his music with lyrics by Derek Walcott. |
| 14 | Is a long-time friend of fellow New Yorker Lorne Michaels, which has led to Simon and/or his songs appearing in numerous Michaels productions, including Saturday Night Live (1975) (several appearances as both host and musical guest); The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash (1978) (brief appearance); and Coneheads (1993) (song "Kodachrome"). Michaels has also produced several of Simon's specials, including: The Paul Simon Special (1977); The Concert in Central Park (1982)_; and American Masters: Paul Simon: Born at the Right Time (1993). |
| 15 | Opened the first Saturday Night Live (1975) episode after the September 11th attacks, with his song "The Boxer", following this was the infamous exchange between Rudy Giuliani and Lorne Michaels, where Michaels asked if it was okay to be funny. |
| 16 | Simon & Garfunkel were voted the 40th Greatest Artists in Rock 'n' Roll by Rolling Stone. |
| 17 | Is left-handed, but plays guitar right-handed. |
| 18 | Attended a recording session in 1974 with Art Garfunkel, former The Beatles John Lennon, and singer Harry Nilsson. Lennon directed the session, and he and Simon reportedly clashed on Simon's cue in the song, leading to Simon's walking out (with Garfunkel close behind, making apologies) before anything was recorded. |
| 19 | Didn't want to return to the US from England, where he was enjoying success with his solo album there, but Columbia Records invoked the letter of his and Art Garfunkel's recording contract, forcing him to come back. (His UK album went out of print, and was only reissued in 2004.) |
| 20 | Wrote the song "The Only Living Boy In New York" about Art Garfunkel getting his role in Catch-22 (1970). |
| 21 | One of the few artists from his generation to own all the songs he's written. |
| 22 | Is a Life member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity |
| 23 | Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 (as a solo artist). |
| 24 | Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of Simon & Garfunkel) in 1990. |
| 25 | Designated a Kennedy Center Honors recipient for 2002 to replace Paul McCartney. McCartney had originally accepted the award, but later withdrew because of a "personal scheduling conflict"--the wedding of his niece. |
| 26 | Is good friends with Chevy Chase. The two worked together on Saturday Night Live (1975). Chase has appeared in The Paul Simon Special (1977) and Simon's music videos "You Can Call Me Al" and (alongside Steve Martin) "Proof". |
| 27 | Asked if there were any songs he'd written that he now regrets recording, he said no. However, he does say he'd hate to be remembered for the song "Feelin' Groovy". |
| 28 | Generally considers his solo work, especially the albums "Graceland" (1986) and "The Rhythm of the Saints" (1990), to be superior to his work with Simon & Garfunkel. |
| 29 | Once co-hosted Saturday Night Live (1975) with like-named U.S. Senator Paul Simon. |
| 30 | Father of Harper Simon, from his first marriage. |
| 31 | Former son-in-law of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Former brother-in-law of Todd Fisher. Former half-brother-in-law of Joely Fisher and Tricia Leigh Fisher. |
| 32 | After his breakup with Carrie Fisher, he was depressed for two years. In 1985 his comeback album "Graceland" included songs about her. |
| 33 | Was slated to play Dunbar in Catch-22 (1970) before the character was dropped. |
| 34 | Married to Edie Brickell with whom he has three children: Adrian Edward (born December 1992), Lulu (born April 1995) and Gabriel Elijah (born May 1998). |
| 35 | He co-wrote the song "Red Rubber Ball" with Bruce Woodley of The Seekers. The song was recorded by The Cyrkle, who had a big it with it, as well as The Seekers. |
| 36 | Before finding fame as a singer/songwriter under his real name, Paul Simon had a handful of minor hit singles under two psuedonyms. The best known psuedonym is "Jerry Landis", a name Simon initially used as a member of the duo "Tom and Jerry"; he also issued some solo material under this name. When the hits as "Landis" stopped coming, he changed his stage name to "Tico", and made some very minor chart entries as a member of "Tico & The Triumphs". |
| 37 | Released non-charting singles using the names "True Taylor" (in 1958) and "Paul Kane" (in 1963). Also wrote songs for other artists under the name "Jerry Landis", and released a few singles using that name. He later used the name "Tico" and had some minor hit singles as "Tico & The Triumphs". |
| 38 | He and Art Garfunkel sang and wrote songs under the name "Tom and Jerry" in the late 1950s. |
