Everyone Deserves a Second Chance

Now friends and Blog readers, I'm not talking about Paula Dean or Lance Armstrong, or even that guy Chris Brown (because people keep giving that dumb-dumb second chances and he keeps being overly angry).  No, I'm talking about Paul Simon.  



This guy sang some REALLY stupid songs!  I think everyone can agree that "Me and Julio" is the jam, and "Call Me Al" is one of the top 10 reasons Chevy Chase is even still a thing.  However, have you ever hear the song "Outrageous" from the 2006 album "Surprise".  It truly is outrageous in the worst possible way.  Now, when I first started this blog I told myself that I never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings.  So, I guess I'll just have to pray Paul Simon never reads this.  (Actually I never said that thing before, about hurting readers feelings, but it's probably a good rule of thumb).  And actually Paul, if you're reading this, as the title denotes this is an entry about redemption.  So while I don't agree with what you did with "Outrageous"  I can never be mad at you for giving the world "Cecilia".

I don't know why I feel so strongly about all this.  Maybe I'm just tired.  Because honestly, I've only listened to the whole song once, but the first 3 seconds just get me annoyed.  I'll leave you with the song for you to make up your own mind.  



I think my next entry will be more happy go lucky.  Maybe I'll tell you about how much I loved Star Trek as a kid.


Your Friend,
