A good biography either tells you something you would not have known about the subject, or it adds to the insight you already have. With respect to Paul Simon, this book does neither. First I should note that the book is well written. The content, however, disappoints. Over ninety percent of this biography could have been written using information from the internet. If Eliot had access to Simon or any of his intimate friends, it doesn't show. All you get is a chronological recitation of Simon's discography from the age of 16 or so onward. His falling out with Art is well known and the book offers no additional insight, This is a dry, linear catalogue of Simon's professional career. Simon wrote with a depth that was more shallow than Dylan - think pretentious sophmoric english lit major- yet through exquisite harmonies and fingerstyle guitar he transcended much of Dylan's work. Go figure. I like Simon a lot. This biography does not do him justice. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
