A very funny & pithy Colbert/Late Show Thursday Night.
Here is the whole show, but it's the first few minutes that are the news focus. Ka-boom, Elon Musk.
And then... A funny and quite lnteresting monologue, and then... Paul Simon. Philosophizing and performing a psalm.Great Show.
Something completely different...
On this Jan.6 - a date indelibly synonymous with either infamy & insurrection or a sunny picnic in D.C.....
Homage to the genius of Simon & Garfunkel - and the original, "traditional" origins of this song:
I've now endured a week of congestion from "a bad cold" (remember them?) & made chicken soup (there's no better 'cure').
A little bland on my 3rd attempt so I was inspired as this tune wafted through my clogged-up head.: Parsley sage, rosemary & thyme... ✓
Yum! Truly jazzed it up tastefully. And the music, terrific. Thank you Drs. Simon & Garfunkel

Here Paul Simon talks about how his song's lyrics came about and then he plays & sings it solo. In this version the song lyrics are onscreen and also in the description.

An over-due "two-fer"....
Between a recent re-acquaintance with the Paul Simon song "Kodachrome" (on a satellite classic vinyl channel while driving)
and several recent conversations of foods - from snacks to regional favorites & desserts, and infinity in between... Ahh...

Big and fat
Pig's supposed to look like that
Barnyard thug
Sleeps on straw and he calls it a rug
Yeah, that's a rug, okay
He's walking down the street
And nobody's gonna argue with him
He's a half a ton of pig meat
Up in the hills above the farm
Lives a pack of wolves
Never did no harm
Sleep all day
Hunt till four
Maybe catch a couple of rodents
You know, carnivore
Sheep in the meadow
Nibbling on some clover
One of the sheep wanders over
Sits by a rock
Separated from the flock
He's just sitting by a rock
Where'd he go?
I don't know
Well, he was here a minute ago
I don't know
Sheep's dead
Got a gash as big as a wolf's head
Oh, God
Big and fat
Pig's supposed to look like that
Wallowing in lanolin
He's rubbing it into his pigskin
Police going crazy
Say, let's get him
Let's get that wolf
Let's get him
Let's get that wolf
Let's get him
Let's kill him, let's get him
Let's kill him
Court-appointed lawyer wasn't very bright
Oh, maybe he was bright
Maybe it was just a late night
Yeah, it was just a late night
And he files some feeble appeal
And the governor says, »Forget it
It's a done deal
It's election, I don't care, election
Let's give that wolf a lethal injection«
Let's get him, yeah, let's get that wolf,
Let's kill him, let's get him
Let's kill him, let's get him, kill him
Let's get him and kill him
Whew, slow
Here comes the media
With their camera
Asking everyone's opinion
About pigs, sheep and wolves
Big and fat
Pig's supposed to laugh like that
»This is hilarious
What a great time
I'm the pig who committed
The perfect crime«
All around the world
France and Scandinavia
Candlelight vigils
Protesting this behavior
It's animal behavior
Animal behavior
It's pigs, sheep and wolves
Pigs, sheep and wolves
Pigs, sheep and wolves
It's animal behavior
It's pigs, sheep and wolves

Album: Sounds Of Silence, 1966
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
»Fools« said I, »You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you«
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said »The words of the prophets
Are written on subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence«
