And it didn't come with melody, either. It just came as a line. And then I had to create a story.\"\n\nRegarding the unusual chord changes, he added: \"I was studying with a bass player and composer named Chuck Israels at the time so I was doing more interesting changes. I was studying harmony with him. Instead of using a minor chord I use a major chord and go up a step. It is hard to get an interesting key change. I also like to write a bridge and just jump a whole-tone up. 'Still Crazy' has that.\"\n--\nPaul Simon dressed as a turkey when he debuted this song on Saturday Night Live in 1976: https://www.facebook.com/100064035043542/videos/paul-simons-monologue-worries-snl/2486424628328021/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
