The Only Living Boy in New York

Gotta be honest...Simon and Garfunkel have never been in my music rotation.  S&G was an adolescent beachtrip staple. Dad would pack his cassette case and for four hours, the brothers and I were a captive audience, forced to listen to music we never heard at home. The Allman Brothers, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Linda Ronstadt. Perhaps being forced to listen to this music, I later never chose to listen to it. We all make mistakes in life

Gonna have to blame this post on a Honda commercial that played during lasst football season. And it only played the ethereal aaahhhs from the backing choir in the song. In my ignorance during a game last season, I asked 'what is this?' in a room full of 60 year old men. Quickly informed that it was a Simon and Garfunkel song (shakes head/kids these days).

Anyway, good song.
