Paul Simon... there's not much you can say about the man that hasn't already been said so I will say this, he is a BRILLIANT song writer and lyricist, truly brilliant.  I only wish that one day I could write lyrics (or anything at all) half as beautiful as his lyrics.  The song "Further to Fly" has been in my head for a few days so I thought I'd share it.  It's from the album The Rhythm of the Saints (which brings in a lot of Latin American musicians and rhythms in the way that Simon's earlier album Graceland brought in South American music).  So take a listen and read the lyrics, they're something else!  And as usual I recommend that you listen to more of the album... it's worth it.
