“On armistice day
The philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad”

—Paul Simon, “Armistice Day” from the album, “Paul Simon.” And here's a pop-up, audio version. And since we‘re talking Simon, here he is singing “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” on Sesame Street, with a little girl getting WAY into the act. I watched this last night and couldn’t stop smiling. If we want to celebrate soldiers and what they died for, well, the laughter of children ain't a bad way to go.
