    Simon & Garfunkel never sounded better. This song came out when I was about 5. I remember hearing it on the radio and by the time I was on elementary school it was one of favorites. As I grew older I started to really listen to the lyrics. One of the best songs of the 60's and still makes we think of society and the 'what ifs' - Charles once again you have blown me away.
