--Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence'
It reads like Dante's 'Inferno,' but it's forever linked to the equally sinister imagery of Dustin Hoffman floating in a pool.

Yeah because it's all about hair. Bone head. Figures you're a Poison freak. Poison was to the New York Dolls what The Monkees were to the Beatles.

My wife was to listen to this song as an excersise in class (late 1960's), and then told to write how the song made her feel. She said it was sad, and made her depressed. Her parents were called in for a visit with the school psychologist! LMAO! We still bust her chops if it comes on the radio, even though she's my ex, we're on good terms. Hey Ana! They're playing your song! Can you imagine? Like her feeling was wrong. I find it damn depresing myself, but damn true too. People hearing without listening, etc. Say what you will about Paul Simon, but he is a great lyricist.

Ohh I truly love this song. Simon and Garfunkel can do no wrong. Hey Spinner, isn't it curfew time for your writers?

That dude with the short black hair has a terrible hair cut. It makes his head look like a billboard. They are retarted.

Hey, I'm 48 yrs. old. I wore this song off the turntable when I was in my teens. I loved this song among the many other Simon and Garfunkel stuff. They had something to sing about.
