Paul Simon dusts off “American Tune,” lets Gen Z hum along to the unrest
Paul Simon’s 1973 ballad “American Tune” slips back into public consciousness, not through manufactured nostalgia but via raw resonance in uneasy times. This weekend in New York, Simon shares the stage with Rhiannon Giddens and the Juilliard Fiddle Club, guiding the song’s fraught cadences into fresh ears and younger voices.
“I think he’s really happy to see it have a new life with young people,” notes Giddens. Old lyrics unfold new weight when looped through the disarray of the present.
