Or likewise really catches me off guard, like a few weeks back “Here Comes a Regular” comes on while I’m at the gym and it’s like being hit by a freight train.

“I was twenty-one years
When I wrote this song
I’m twenty-two now
But I won’t be for long”

is a complete lift from a Paul Simon song? I bought a 3 CD best of Paul Simon set at a tag sale several years ago and color me surprised when I played the song “Leaves That Are Green” because it opens with those exact words.

It’s a beautiful song and quite appropriate for this time of year.

“Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand”

(What is it with Pauls and fall?)
