Summary of robert hilburn's paul simon

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Paul Simon's first love was baseball, and he was obsessed with the sport from a young age. He loved listening to the radio with his father, and when he found out that some players on the cards were close to his own height, he was hopeful that he could play professional ball. #2 Paul's love of music was born in 1954, when he accidentally heard a new group, the Crows, on the radio. The song was giddy and romantic, and it sounded young and alive. It was exactly the kind of music he wanted to create. #3 Paul was obsessed with the sounds of RB, and he wanted to learn how to play the guitar and sing. He asked his father to buy him a guitar for his thirteenth birthday, and his father agreed, but only if he learned some chords. #4 When Paul was born in 1945, he and his family were happy again. They had finally bought their first house, an attached residence at 137-62 Seventieth Road. Every other house on the long block looked the same, which caused Lou Simon endless frustration.
