Line of the day

Paul Simon’s Graceland celebrates a quarter century this summer: . . . This means that Graceland is now the same age that ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’ by the Shirelles, ‘Stand By Me’ by Ben E. King, ‘Hit the Road, Jack’ by Ray Charles, and ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight?’ by the King (of Graceland) were when Simon’s album came out. I name only songs because in 1961 albums as we understand them today hadn’t yet been invented.”
