Praying for the Truth to be revealed.. For He (Jesus- the Messiah) is the way the truth and the Life.

Paul Simon. You understand that you're channeling the divine. You are a treasure. I love you.

Poor man. Still bewildered after all these years.
-
Paul, you are a real poet..I’ve grown listening “Sound of Silence”. Thanks much
-
I would choose Bridge over troubled Water as one of the best songs ever written. Hauntingly beautiful and timeless
-
I didn’t know Tim Power before coming here and I’m a fan now. So refreshing to see an interviewer who knows his subject like that and is able to have an actual conversation with his guest.

The prophetic gift seems to resting upon Paul. May he know the grace and power of his Lord, the might Christ, Jesus of Nazareth! And may all Jewish people everywhere embrace Him who embraces you!

In 1975, when I was 14 years old growing up in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, bullied by the girls at my new school, and problems at home, I retreated to my bedroom and listened to my first real album, (Partridge Family doesn't count) Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits, and played it over and over on my $30 record player. I felt such a connection with the music. I Am a Rock became my theme song. The harmonies, the lyrics, the everything about the genius that is Paul Simon brought me such comfort and space of belonging at such a difficult time. I have never stopped listening, and appreciating Simon and Garfunkel. Thank you for being there for me at such a difficult time, Paul Simon. Your music and voice is beyond sublime. You are truly a treasure.

Paul, your moving towards the truth.♡♡

I met Paul Simon after a concert around 1971 in London. He was doing sweet. I wanted his autograph but didn't have a pen on me. He signed it with his own pen, and then gave me the pen. Which I still have. What a nice guy

Paul, you are a treasure. Paul, GOD does speak to us. And he apparently wants your attention. Listen Paul. HE IS REAL.

His old music has wisdom messages. I think this is one of the attractions of is music.
-
Lovely man. He's brought so much joy and comfort and insight to so many of us.

Wonderful interview. It really resonated with my own feelings about god. Even as an atheist, my favorite poem is the 23rd Psalm. The lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul. To me the lord is the very universe calling me to rest and heal in nature. Wishing all blessings to Mr. Simon
-
Paul , I pray God continues to call your heart !! It’s not about religion my friend …it’s about a relationship with the creator of ALL things …..even you and the music through you ♥️
-
No question. Paul is one of the greatest songwriters, musicians, entertainers of all time. He has enriched our lives with his beautiful music

While I'm not too familiar with Tom Power, I must say he is an exceptional interviewer. For one thing, he does his homework and you can see how appreciative the artist is by their opening up to him. The other reason is Tom doesn't steal the limelight and make it all about HIM, as soooo many other interviewers do. Others are opportunists trying to make a name for themselves, whereas Tom just let's the experience unfold because he knows his place and is comfortable taking a backseat in order to get the most from his guest. Great work Tom! I look forward to enjoying more of your efforts. Peace <><

God exists and He knows you, Paul. He has gifted you.
