toothless beachrat, Record clubs, supermarket encyclopedias where you could get a new volume each week I think for $1. Good memories, though I never did get all of the encyclopedias and Beaver learned the perils of joining a record club when the records and the bills kept coming.

If anything, Simon's lyrics are even more relevant today.
"People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
...
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made" [the internet, social media, AI]
...
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"

Deborah, a band called "Disturbed" does a wonderful cover version that Paul Simon endorsed!

The duo signed with Columbia Records. Columbia Records brings back memories when you would join their club and get the first 10 records for a penny. Then came "BMG".
