FDP Forum / Moe's Tavern (_8^(I) / Paul Simon ready to retire for the most part.

MJB Contributing Member ********** ** Who's we sucka? Smith, Wesson and me.	Feb 5th, 2018 10:44 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Hope the link works. Link
Jake Contributing Member ********** ****** West Chester PA Wait, what?	Feb 5th, 2018 11:46 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I'd say he is.
6L6 Contributing Member ********** ********** ******** San Francisco, CA	Feb 5th, 2018 12:35 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Can't blame him. And... I would respectfully disagree with his statement that his voice is still strong. Based on recent performances I've seen, his voice has given in to OMD. He's now just speaking many of the words rather than singing them. But what a fantastic career he's had. His music will go on forever. Enjoy your retirement, Paul! 6

jefe46 Contributing Member ********** ***** State of Jefferson	Feb 5th, 2018 02:44 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I went to a Simon and Garfunkle Reunion Concert in Berkeley Calif years ago. He needed to retire then,.. they both did. And he thinks his voice is still good.. Not by my standards. (This message was last edited by jefe46 at 05:44 PM, Feb 5th, 2018)
Taildragger Contributing Member ********** USA an acquired taste some may never acquire	Feb 5th, 2018 02:59 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic "He needed to retire than...they both did." I include myself when I say that, for some of us, it's hard to admit that our day has passed and it's time we were off to the dog track. Or, as Steppenwolf put it: "You're out of touch and you try too much. Yesterday's glory won't help us today. You want to retire? Get out of the way."
jefe46 Contributing Member ********** ***** State of Jefferson	Feb 5th, 2018 03:47 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I retired years ago (when Chrysler ruined our company) I knew "it" was over and I was over "it". So, rather than be the same old hack.. I reinvented myself. Would you care to hear me sing.. Didn't think so, neither do my kids. I enjoyed S&G in the very early days when it was fresh. It's been stale for a long time.
HenryJ Contributing Member ********** * Bogue Falaya River is STILL dark and cold.	Feb 5th, 2018 07:04 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Simon says "...a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating, and something of a relief." I retired last October and had the same exact feelings. 6L6 posted: "his voice has given in to OMD." What is OMD? All Google returned was Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark, an 80s group.

Gato Contributing Member ********** ******** Southern Calif	Feb 6th, 2018 08:18 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I think what finally convinced him was his meeting with Julio down in the schoolyard, who reminded him .... "In the naked light I saw my sagging jowls and dentured maw In the halo of a street lamp I saw my trousers and Depends were damp And the sign said the bathroom line would continue through the night my buns clamped tight.... etc etc
6L6 Contributing Member ********** ********** ******** San Francisco, CA	Feb 6th, 2018 11:48 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic "6L6 posted: "his voice has given in to OMD..." OMD = "Old Man Disease". I got the term from the surgeon who is about to perform surgery on my torn rotator cuff. He said the torn rotator was due to my having "OMD". 6 (This message was last edited by 6L6 at 01:48 PM, Feb 6th, 2018)
