Today’s email from the Very Short List highlights a fitting tribute to Paul Simon:
He’s performed for half a million people in Central Park, recorded a dozen hit albums, popped up in Annie Hall, and worn a full-plumed turkey suit on Saturday Night Live. Through it all, Paul Simon’s sweet, reedy voice has remained a constant since the ‘60s. Now the first-ever Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song is being bestowed upon the 65-year-old singer, and PBS is set to air the celebration tomorrow.
Tune in to that program and stay tuned to this space because he’s also scheduled to appear at the Y in late October for the Unterberg Poetry Center Reading Series.
