Claude says:Simon & Garfunkel's fourth album was a concept record exploring the arc of life from childhood to old age, recorded gradually over 1967 while Paul Simon battled writer's block. Side one traced the life cycle; side two collected singles and leftover Graduate material, including the number-one hit "Mrs. Robinson." You picked it up in August 2019 — five decades after release — and cycled through "Mrs. Robinson," "America," and "A Hazy Shade of Winter" during that brief window, then let it fade into the past.
