Recorded in 1964, prophesying 1984, and ripped from tomorrow's headlines. Originally a failure, then it caught on, got re-released with added instruments, and went all the way to No. 1, and single-handedly re-united now-legendary artists and high school music buddies Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who had split up after their first album crashed and burned.
Leaving us a foundation stone of folk rock that remains always way too prophetic. Just like right now, this very minute.

I have it saved on my computer as done by 3 different artists. And every time I hear it I think its more and more apt to today.
They also featured this song in that cult classic, "The Graduate" which I saw around this time back in 1967. That flick gave a lot us guys who were teenagers at the time, a new perspective on the mature women.
Have you heard the Disturbed cover...
