Audio: Paul Simon Interview On-Demand
Simply Simon’s BestA Paul Simon radio interview is a very rare affair so when he consented to spend some time talking about his new album last week, we were in heaven. From the side of the stage at the Chicago Theater last Tuesday, I watched Paul go over some parts of the song “Slip Slidin’ Away.”
After an acclaimed XRT Show at the Vic Theater on Monday night, the band was preparing for Tuesday’s XRT Show at The Chicago Theater. It was a unique angle to view the rehearsal process. When he was done with his sound check, we climbed the stairs to his dressing room.
I turned on a digital recorder and started chatting. Paul was generous with insights into his songwriting, his new album, and his motivation. A more pleasant 30 minutes would be hard to imagine. He’s been everywhere recently. He and Steve Martin did a bit on Jimmy Fallon. He was back on Saturday Night Live a little over a week ago. The song he wrote for Oprah was the last thing Oprah fans heard today as her show said its final farewell.
