Also, in re Paul Simon.
I think _Graceland_ is probably his best work ever. Lasers in the
jungle, yes … but his human touch was and is astonishing. "The
Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar … I am following
the highway to the cradle of the Civil War" is a fantastic entrant
verse to a profoundly sweet and intense ballad of self-discovery,
combined with a terse mix of language, poetry and lyric that is, in
this world of "niggas with AKs", sorely hard to find.
I can't say for sure, but I bet Huey Freeman would agree.
