Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes

And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

Song of the day.

I was having a pretty grumpy day today.  Do you have grumpy days?  Where everything makes you a Grumpasaurus Rex.  The people you deal with turn you into a Grumpelstiltskin.  And even just sitting still you embody a Darth Grump.

I was having one of those days.  Then, while I waiting for the N/Q at 59th street a performer was performing, “You Can Call Me Al.”  Something about his performance was so endearing and hit home to me.

A man walks down the street, 
He says, Why am I soft in the middle now? 
Why am I soft in the middle? 
The rest of my life is so hard! 
I need a photo-opportunity, 
I want a shot at redemption! 
Don’t want to end up a cartoon, 
In a cartoon graveyard …..
