Archival Paul Simon interviews from various moments of his career are intertwined to show the evolution of his creative process. Hosted by Rita Houston (WFUV). Read the full description.

Paulsimon_songwriter_small Paul Simon has been translating his inner thoughts into songs for over 50 years.  He doesn’t have just one way of writing -- it’s a constantly evolving set of discoveries that include both inspiration -- and a lot of hard work. 

In this hour, Paul Simon is going to tell us about his creative process, and we’ll hear his own favorite hits (Kodachrome, Late in the Evening, Boy in the Bubble) and deeper cuts (Darling Lorraine, Love and Hard Times) from throughout his solo career.

 

Great to air anything in Fall/Winter 2011 for any Paul Simon 70th birthday features, especially around his upcoming 2011 US tour dates listed below.

Could also be part of multi-hour tributes along with other Paul Simon or Simon & Garfunkel specials on this PRX playlist.  Three other titles include the Joyride Media "Bridge over Troubled Water" and "Live 1969" shows, as well as the "So Beautiful or So What: A Guided Tour" feature on his 2011 album (from another producer but also distributed by Public Media Service).

Podcast edits will also be available soon for station websites.
