'When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school,
it's a wonder I can think at all...'

With those words, Paul Simon began the final song of his concert at Hersheypark Stadium tonight. He was touring in support of his 'You're the One' album and even though he recently turned 60, he's still crazy after all these years.

What a great, great show! My wife and I purchased our tickets as an anniversary gift for ourselves - and as luck would have it, we were in row 13 and I ended up in seat (yep, you guessed it) 42.

Simon played for a solid two hours combining songs from his brilliant career and recent stuff from the 'You're the One' album. Looneytunes wrote a great review of the album at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A526664 that everyone should read.

Again, it was a great performance and if Simon's next album contains a reference to the Pennsylvania Dutch food Funnel Cakes, you can blame the crowd in Hershey for it.
