Graceland
by Paul Simon
It was just alright! I don't know why, but I'm always surprised when I listen to Paul Simon - in a more neutral type of way than you might be thinking. It's never bad, but I'm always waiting for him to really hunker down and say something more profound than I can find. He kind of feels like a war-time photographer - but one that's more concerned about his camera settings, than what's actually happening on the battlefield. I definitely didn't dislike it, but there's something with Paul Simon's brand of art that never really connects with me. I always feel like I'm talked to, instead of hearing someone's heart beat throughout the musical background.
