several months ago, without the Bernie visuals or connection, and found it to be incredibly powerful even without them.

For the record, I am a life-long fan of Simon and Garfunkel, I grew up loving them in the 60s and 70s, and this is my favorite of their songs. It is very, very rare that I would appreciate a cover of a master's song, but this one...I do.

Adding the Sanders visuals makes it even more powerful, and I feel my gut clenching as I watch.

IMO, the original version isn't as powerful with these visuals Donkees Apr 2016 #2

I was speaking of the sound... malokvale77 Apr 2016 #3

The new rougher version better expresses the anger of what happened to this country since 1964 Donkees Apr 2016 #4

Yes...and the sound is better if you go straight to the "You Tube" directly... KoKo May 2016 #12

The earlier version is more wistful...(and incredible in its own right)...but KoKo May 2016 #13
