First, thank you to everyone who dropped off some cash or a check at Dodger Stadium yesterday. The gutless punks who cowardly attacked Giants fan Brian Stow have yet to pay, but they will.

Changing gears now....

The new Paul Simon album is now out. You can see Paul and his band play the first single, "The Afterlife" here. And if you're a fan of Simon AND Garfunkel, check this page out. It's track-by-track coverage of their brilliant "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album and its 40-year celebration. It's a tribute to all the artists involved how nicely the music has defied time and musical trends. Good stuff, thankfully, is still good stuff.
