The first half is a concept album about a journey from childhood to old age. And the second half is stuff that wasn't on the Graduate soundtrack. A pretty fantastic album.

The video is from SNL in 1977, 9 years after the album came out and 7 or so years after S&G broke up. It makes the song super poignant.

I'm working at a different location today and I didn't have the foresight to prepare this post last night. So it's late to go up. I also might have done a little more looking into the other songs, but i figure, c'mon, this song's a classic. And I found a performance FROM the year we're throwing back to. So I'm appeased. How 'bout you?
