The greatest vocalist of all-time, according to Paul Simon: "The best voice" Thu 6 August 2026 16:27, UK FarOutMagazine

Music has always been subjective. One person might swear by Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water', while another will always reach for The Sound of Silence', and neither is wrong.

Even Paul Simon himself, who speaks with more authority on the subject than almost anyone still alive, knows that musical taste is never absolute.

Like everyone else, he can only offer his own opinion.

The Leading Charge in Trump's Next Impeachment

Corky — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 15:30:56 -0400

Michael Tomasky: It's inconceivable to imagine any other modern American president even thinking this up, let alone doing it. Suing himself; then installing a spineless yes-man -- his former personal lawyer, no less -- as acting attorney general, who then agrees to a settlement including nearly $2 billion in taxpayer money plus an immunity grant; then being willing to sacrifice said A.G.'s confirmation in order to preserve the fund and the immunity claim. It defies belief.
