Jeez, of course! Not only was Simon's Dylan parody certainly the first
instance of Jagger-checking I'd ever heard, the album it appeared on
(PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY & THYME) was one of the first albums I ever owned.
I asked my parents for a Simon & Garfunkel record after one of the nuns at
St. Michael's School used "I Am A Rock" to introduce us tykes to the concept
of lyric metaphor. Pretty cool of her, in retrospect. She also cited Bob
Lind's "Elusive Butterfly Of Love" in the same lesson.
Drew,
who's dropped his harmonica, Albert.
