27 feb	New York	Tudios du GE Building at Rockefeller Center Paul Simon interview - Later With Bob Costas Introduction and Context The interview takes place in an intimate studio setting in New York, at the GE Building, without an audience. This environment allows Paul Simon and Bob Costas to have a deep, relaxed conversation. The show is designed to explore both the guest’s career and personal reflections, and Simon uses this opportunity to discuss his music, experiences, and influences in detail. Career and Songwriting Simon describes his creative process, emphasizing that storytelling lies at the heart of his songwriting. Each song, he says, should convey an emotion or a personal experience. He reflects on his time with Simon & Garfunkel, discussing both successes and tensions within the duo. Moving into his solo career, he explains how he explored new genres and sounds, driven by curiosity and a desire to experiment. He particularly mentions the influence of African and Latin music, which enriched his sense of rhythm and texture. Influences and Musical Relationships Costas asks about Bob Dylan and other key figures in music. Simon speaks with admiration for Dylan, noting that while their careers are often compared, each artist follows a unique path. He also discusses collaborations with various musicians and how working with different cultures has enhanced his creativity. He stresses that music is both personal and collaborative, and that artistic encounters often transform a simple idea into something much richer. Film and Soundtrack – One Trick Pony Simon explains the creation of his film One Trick Pony and its soundtrack. He discusses the unique challenges of combining music and cinema, and how he drew on his own experiences to develop the story and characters. The conversation highlights his approach to storytelling, showing how an artist balances authenticity with audience expectations. Reflections on Music and the Industry Simon talks about changes in the music industry in the early 1990s, including the rise of visually driven performances and commercial strategies affecting how music is received. He draws a clear distinction between showmanship and songwriting, stressing that staying true to his artistic vision is essential. He also reflects on the difficulty for musicians to remain creative while navigating a commercial environment. Personal Life and Artistic Philosophy Throughout the interview, Simon shares personal anecdotes that illuminate his artistic philosophy and life perspective. He demonstrates quiet humility, a subtle sense of humor, and thoughtful reflection on the artist’s role in society. He emphasizes the connection between personal experience and musical creation, noting that music often mirrors life itself.
