If you find yourself asking, “Is Paul Simon goofing on Bob Dylan here?”... The answer is yes. Very yes.

That’s a great album that absolutely holds up after all these years.

Indeed. From the commercialism satire of Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine to this track (satire of what had become the overblown Seeger/Dylan/Ian/etc. political folk industry and music industry in general) to the title track and For Emily, it’s more or less gold.

It’s also clear that PS was the driving musical force in that duo, and AG was pretty much along for the ride.
