I have a dilemna. My best friend just told me that before today he had never heard "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon. At first, I didn't believe him, but once I got over the shock, I suddenly feel like our friendship has been shaken to its very core. It's worse than when we had a falling out over a girl we had overlapping romantic interests in. I'm honestly not sure that we can be friends anymore.
We've hung out a lot over the years, so I know he's not a hermit. I've stayed at his condo, so I know he doesn't live under a rock. He has a sizable CD collection. How can you have never heard "Kodachrome"???!!! There is just a certain level of cultural awareness I expect in my friends, and I can't think of a legitimate excuse for not having heard this song at some point in thirty plus years. Seriously, that'd be like saying you've never read Catcher In The Rye, or you've never seen Citizen Kane. It's a fucking classic!
I need a drink.
And while we're talking about "Kodachrome," I love Lindsey Buckingham, but he totally owes Simon royalties for this rip off...
