the werewolf

I have had the distinct and indulgent pleasure of getting to listen to the new Paul Simon CD, Stranger to Stranger, in full last night and then this afternoon. From the interesting mosaic artwork on the packaging to the body-moving listening experience to studying the lyrics, this album is a treat. It is on my recommend list for sure.  Here is the first song on the album, called The Werewolf. Rolling Stone has this to say about the lyrics: "[they are about] about a mythical werewolf as an angel of death alongside imagery of capitalism at its worst. 'The fact is most obits are mixed reviews/Life is a lottery/A lot of people lose/And the grinners, the winners with money-colored eyes/Eat all the nuggets and order extra fries/The werewolf is coming,'"
