I got Bookends, my first record album on my twelfth birthday...I played it to death.

It's not fair we have to wait to see the documentary in the US, they're Americans! :cry:

I like most of it, but Bridge Over Troubled Water...it's so highschoolish lyrics. Mrs Robinson was the first hit I noticed. The BBC thingie dont work here. Here is the song, with Jesus, God and all!

All good songs. I only listen to Cecilia and Boxer from BOTW.

They had to toss Garfunkel a bone with that one.

Still, Sprog seems to like it as a lullaby. Maybe not as much as The Boxer...

Hmmm ... of all the well-known S & G songs, that's also the one I am at very best lukewarm about. Give me "America" any day.

Gonna watch this soon, been meaning to but haven't had the chance, glad to hear some positive reviews!

My fave:

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.
