The Paul Simon You Didn’t Know

The Paul Simon You Didn’t Know

As Paul Simon launches his farewell tour, his new biography celebrates a musical legend.

The long awaited biography, Paul Simon: The Life, is out today.

The book covers Simon’s life and music — along with over 100 hours of recent and exclusive interviews with the singer-songwriter who is currently in rehearsals for the first leg of his final tour. Excerpt- “He writes in an unusual way. He doesn’t pick a theme and write about it; he plays the guitar until something resonates in him. Then he tries to figure out what that feeling is and write about that, taking one line at a time, until he discovers what he’s writing about. That’s the discovery.” Read more via usatoday.com.
