"At the Dakota once, after dinner, he pulls me into the bedroom, so I'm sitting on the end of his bed, and he says: 'I want you to tell me about your work with Paul Simon, because I understand you just reocrded in Nashville together.' We had just done 'My Little Town'. 'I'm getting calls from my Paul,' he said, 'who's doing an Allen Toussaint project. And he wants to know if I'm available for the recording. What should I do?' Can you imagine how I felt? John Lennon asking me for my advice? I could have pinched myself at that moment, because it made me realise in a flash: no wonder he captivated the whole goddamned world - he's so commercial. "He knew what to say to me that was connected and human and real and grounded and fascinating. And that's what he did with the whole planet earth. He was a hit record - his very being was like a hit. And I said to him: 'John, I would do it - put all personality aside and go with the fun of the blend. Make music with somebody you have made a sound with. A great pleasure is the thing to stick with.' He didn't take my advice."

“I think my dad and Paul will always be best friends. There is a lot of love. They are in touch. Things are going in a good direction..”

Clickbait intro aside, the “they are in touch” part is very lovely, long overdue news! Any kind of public musical reunion/tour seems like nothing other than wishful thinking at this point, and in all honesty would probably be counterproductive in more ways than one. The knowledge that the two 82 year-olds with 70+ years of history are on friendly terms in the latter years of their life would be worth far more than any kind of joy any one of us could feel at a concert, and is all we should hope for.
