9/11 Ten Year Memorial

Paul Simon at Ground Zero.  

Simon is one of the finest poets of our generation, and one of its most accomplished musicians. 


Simon's evocative rendition of Sounds of Silence becomes a lament for a lost civilization.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made . . .

. . . there was no answer. We are truly lost.

May God have mercy upon us all.
