Paul used to have one. Balding throughout the 70s, he appeared in Central Park in 1981 with a full head of hair. I give him credit for finally taking the damn thing off. If you're bald, be bald. If you're grey, be grey.

Yeah he's always had a degree of arrogance about him. But if your as talented as he is and put on as good a show,then I guess your entitled. It ain't bragging if you can back it up.Quote

Is that a wig at the Central Park gig? Oh, well.
I love Simon's stuff, but...(and here's the but)...
I get the feeling he thinks he's way smarter than his audience, almost to the point of arrogance. At times he comes across as an out-of-touch NYC intellectual.
I remember seeing an interview with him where he bitched about how people can't appreciate time signature changes; they can't understand it going from 4/4 to 12/8 to 5/4 to 2/4 to 20/38 or whatever...and this is after Graceland and Rhythm Of The Saints which sold millions and went to the top of the charts.
Great songwriter though.

I too have seen Paul three times, and I think is the only Artist I've been to see three times. Each time has been quite a different experience and the man just doesn't put a bad show on and excepting the Capeman debacle and the One trick Pony movie/soundtrack, all of his Cd's are great too.
Espicially on mescaline.Quote

Saw him at Glastonbury and wasn't impressed, having said that I was never a big fan of Graceland etc, Plenty of people in the crowd seemed to be really enjoying him, so maybe it was just me. Can't stand the jingly jangly africanesque guitar playing!
