50 Ways To Leave Your Lover-Paul Simon
So, this isn't my favorite song from this particular year, not by a long shot-it can't compete with Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here or Bob Dylan's Tangled Up in Blue. Why is it featured here then?
Simple-it's one of the very first songs I remember coming through the radio and it's probably the least embarrassing of the lot. I recall singing the chorus with my older sisters-slip out the back, Jack; make a new plan, Stan; don't need to be coy, Roy, just hop on the bus, Gus; drop off the key, Lee--early language acquisition set to a song about skipping out on your gal. You have to love the '70s.
