When Simon spoke of
"the Mississippi Delta… shining like a National guitar.”
I thought, "of course the national guitar of America
would be shiny. It represents all of us.
In its official capacity, wouldn’t it want to look its best?"
But of course I learned of the National brand
and it made a lot more sense.

Paul Simon wrote "Maybe I Think Too Much"
a couple of times
on what some think is his worst album.

It may be that I’m just thinking too little.

Maybe there’s a compromise between

the amount Paul is thinking
and the amount I am,
a sweet spot where Goldilocks
and the Baby Bear are thinking

that’s just right, and things are easily understood.

I like the sound of that.

I wonder what Simon thinks.
