One of the greatest song writers ever! I love Paul Simon's music. What a beautiful talent.

[shepinchains]

Paul Simon wrote some of the most heart touching songs.

[robertgerald]

Words cannot describe how much I love the songs of Paul Simon.

[allancerf]

Not much of a Stern fan but this was a splendid interview - he was great - as was Mr. Simon.

[Navigatorbythestars]

wow! Howard was incredibly cool on this interview, not often have I seen this side of him. so respectful and open.

[MarkMphonoman]

Paul Simon is amazing. Over the years his songs have brought much joy to many of us.

I can’t look at creation and not marvel at the creator behind it anymore than I can listen to Paul’s music and not marvel at the creator behind it. We are not an accident.

[nancywarren]

Grateful for all the endearing words and music. Thank you Paul❤

[cardo]

Not a huge fan of Howard these days, but his genuine love/appreciation for the music/artist always comes through, a great interviewer.

Have listened to his music since I was a child, and have grown to love them even more, thank you sir

[thomasmcgivney]

Great to hear a grateful and thankful Paul Simon. Amazing Career. 🎶

I was raised in an extremely Catholic home that I often found to be oppressive. We were probably more Catholic than the Vatican. So when I left my parent's house I declared myself an atheist; believing that atheistism was simply a lack of religious belief. Over time I painfully discovered I didn't possess the faith required to be an atheist. Atheists and Darwinists are some of the most faith-filled people you will ever encounter. When I finally concluded that the chance of life randomly coming into existence was so profoundly remote that I found myself embracing the idea of a creator. I cannot tell you the mind of that creator or the nature of that creator the will of that creator but I am now convinced creation is far more likely than life being randomly generated. Good luck to all in figuring out this enigma for yourselves.

I think Paul answered Howard's question when he described where his music/art came from. It was not an accident or by chance matter...the creativity comes from God!

[kennbo]

McCartney, Dylan and many many more of the greatest song writers have said so much of what they wrote came from somewhere outside of them.

[polo]

To me, Sound of Silence, The Boxer and Duncan are among my favourite Paul Simon's songs ever! He's just brilliant!

[colinsmith]

This was a very humble and thought proking discussion. That spirituality in paul Simon seems to resonate with so many of his songs.

[EricMcDowellegm]

Paul Simon is a national treasure! I love his solo albums as much as anything he did with Art Garfunkel.

[stephaniestanley]

❤Bridge...a true shining example of American music at its best. When Paul completed it he said Art has to sing this, I can't.😢 I defy anyone not to become emotional listening to the strings at the end of the song.

[jilliankavanaugh]

The world thanks BOTH of you, and so much!!!

[Chappomusic]

Howard introduced me to Leslie West, I am always grateful for that, seeing a in depth interview with Paul is a dream come truth.
