Paul Simon is gonna be bummed

dar512 · 06-22-2009, 09:01 AM

Kodachrome is going away.

Another pop-culture reference bites the dust.

At least the song is still great.

Maybe Paul will write one about Digital Cameras. Probably won't have the same charm, though.

He could have written one about cassettes or floppy's... Missed opportunity there eh?

"Bummed" here means being a bottom - in the gay sense.
If M Simon is going to be bummed, I hope it's to his taste.

My guess is: he won't. If he feels the same way about digital photography as he does about digital recording studios. He hates zeroes and ones, and especially feels that they have never been able to capture the proper sound of drums.

He always seems bitter.

lumberjim · 06-22-2009, 05:59 PM

he's very short

capnhowdy · 06-22-2009, 06:16 PM

And his best friend was Julio.

But he's got more talent than you can shake a stick at.

Shawnee123 · 06-22-2009, 10:54 PM

Yes he does. Can you believe his body of work? Writing, arranging, playing, singing. Yeah...talent. Gifted.

lumberjim · 06-22-2009, 11:02 PM

I used to pantomime "What I Am" the way she did it on SNL, one leg crossed over the other, hands in front and up and together, yet all laid back. She's cool!
