The Dialogue Between What's Going On In

Most Of The Time, When I Had Hits As A Soloist - Maybe Not So Much With Simon & Garfunkel - I Was Surprised They Were Hits. I Didn't Know What The Hits Were. I Never Thought That 'loves Me Like A Rock' Was Going To Be A Hit, Or 'mother And Child Reunion,' Or '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.' They Didn't Sound Like What The Hits Sounded Like At The Time. Radio Was More Open To Things That Weren't Exactly What Every Other Hit Was.

Most Of The Time, The Songs Have Jokes In Them, Little Sarcastic Things, Or Purposely Kitsch Or Something. So That's Going Along With A Story, Like I Do In Life, Just Talking To Myself And Making Fun Of Stuff And Laughing At Stuff That's Serious. And Sometimes It's A Good Idea To Put The Laughing Into The Songs. Sometimes It's Not. Sometimes It's All Right Just To Be Serious. But Most Of The Songs Have Some Kind Of Joke In Them.
