The story of Paul Simon, whose evocative lyrics have articulated the fears, dreams and everyday dilemmas of several generations. It gives insights into Paul Simon's life and music, from his roots to the 21st century, dealing with the years he partnered Art Garfunkel, his subsequent solo career, and how he later went on to embrace experimentation with world music and develop an interest in musicals and film. Paul Simon's passion for politics and his involvement in world issues is addressed, along with his perennial sense of insecurity and troubled relationships with women. There is also analysis and discussion of Paul Simon as a lyricist, through the views of contemporary songwriters and music critics such as Sir Tim Rice and Noel Redding as well as from academics on both sides of the Atlantic.
