SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Paul Simon is one of my teachers - one of my mentors. If I had an ambition to be a literate songwriter, he’d be the man whose feet I would sit at. Songs like “America” are masterpieces. It’s a pretty big subject, looking for America. In less sure hands, that would’ve been a disaster. But he starts with pies and magazines and cigarettes, and then suddenly the epic nature of the song is revealed - that’s genius."
