Simon says
Fresh off receiving the first-ever Gershwin Prize for Popular Song here last month, Paul Simon will join the presidential campaign of his buddy Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., in Iowa over Fourth of July weekend.
The Dodd camp announced that Simon will campaign with Dodd in Mason City, Fort Dodge, Sioux City, Carroll and Council Bluffs on July 6-7, “appearing with him on those days’ tour stops and adding informal performances.”
The senator said, “I am thrilled that Paul will be joining Jackie, our daughters, and me in Iowa. Paul is a longtime friend and one of the most important voices in American music, and he has been tireless in his service to the greater good of people throughout our country and the world.”
