August 2023: Vol 49, No 8

This month we honor one of the most iconic American singer-songwriters in American pop culture, Paul Simon. Most of us who are of his ilk, late 70s to early 80s, can remember the late 1960s when Rock and Roll was at its worldwide peak of popularity.

Despite that drumbeating, guitar-strumming high-energy and dance-inducing energy, there was Simon, a product of the Folk music era who offered what critics dubbed as a “highbrow sensibility” to Rock music.
