Listening to Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel. I put the song America on a sleepy kid's iPod playlist about 6 years ago. Our daughter (5 at the time) immediately picked up on the 'bow tie as a camera' line. Kids are brilliant, music is brilliant. All is not lost.

I'm guessing the dramatic crescendos in The Boxer, and the discordant string section in Old Friends/Bookends.
I said ‘Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera.’” 💚 It’s important for kids to learn that neckwear can’t be trusted.
I haven't listened to it in ages - a perfect arrangement for a perfect song. The drummer provides the perfect counterpoint. "It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw" next to Garfunkel's voice immediately? Bliss
