7 men convened for Paul Simon’s 7th studio album. Front to back, a musical masterpiece.
In the early 1980s, Simon’s relationship with his former musical partner Art Garfunkel had deteriorated, his marriage to the actress Carrie Fisher had collapsed, and his previous record, Hearts and Bones (1983), had been a commercial failure.
And yet….
Mosey around the front of the school, mosey around the road, all the way to the back gate, for some more moseying. Machismo said it was a ‘forgery’ because he came for the electronic beats of Snuff Underground and instead was regaled with South African street music. Moseying continued.
In the amphitheater, 11s up and down the big steps, dips and WW2s. Some interesting talk of angry Ms and the impending robot army. In spite of which, we are still happy. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
Moseyed some more around to the wall for the longest set of hoedowns ever done, to the beat.
Moseyed some more up and around and back down again to the base of Mt Chaplain. Some bear crawls up, mirkins, more bear crawls, jump squats. 100 LBCs, 100 mountain climbers, then one last long mosey down to the cul de sac and back up to the flag.
5 of the 7 attendees need to get ready for Ragnar.
COT.
