S1E21 | Music Album: Paul Simon‘s Graceland
Episode description
When the bumps and slumps come at us in life, sometimes we need to hit the open road, breathe in the fresh air, and sink our hearts and hands into a new project. None of us have probably ever taken it as far as legendary folk musician Paul Simon; whom after several failed records, a marriage to Princess Leia Organa, and the loss of his Garfunkel partnership, packed it all up, violated international embargos by flying to South Africa during Apartheid, and created one of the most successful albums in the history of music. Buckle up, because we’re going to Graceland with our musical guest, Greg. Support the show by tossing us some lunch money at ko-fi.com/80shighpodcast. Write an 80's inspired note when you do, and we'll share it on the show!
