Текст песни The Late Great Johnny Ace - Paul Simon
I
was
reading
a
magazine
And
thinking
of
a
rock
and
roll
song
The
year
was
1954
And
I
hadn't
been
playing
that
long
When
a
man
came
on
the
radio
And
this
is
what
he
said
He
said,
"I
hate
to
break
it
to
his
fans
But
Johnny
Ace
is
dead"
Well,
I
really
wasn't
Such
a
Johnny
Ace
fan
But
I
felt
bad
all
the
same
So
I
sent
away
for
his
photograph
And
I
waited
'til
it
came
It
came
all
the
way
from
Texas
With
a
sad
and
simple
face
And
they
signed
it
on
the
bottom
From
the
late
great
Johnny
Ace
It
was
the
year
of
the
Beatles
It
was
the
year
of
the
Stones
It
was
1964
I
was
living
in
London
With
the
girl
from
the
summer
before
It
was
the
year
of
the
Beatles
It
was
the
year
of
the
Stones
A
year
after
J.F.K.
We
were
staying
up
all
night
And
giving
the
days
away
And
the
music
was
flowing
amazing
And
blowing
my
way
On
a
cold
December
evening
I
was
walking
through
the
Christmastide
When
a
stranger
came
up
and
asked
me
If
I'd
heard
John
Lennon
died
And
the
two
of
us
went
to
this
bar
And
we
stayed
to
close
the
place
And
every
song
we
played
was
For
the
late
great
Johnny
Ace
