Paul Simon on Late Night with David Letterman (1986)

In this interview, shortly after Graceland has been released to rave reviews and great success, Paul Simon talks about what he sees as important in the work of music and talks some about the process of writing. He then sings "The Boxer" including the new verse added when S & G did the Concert in Central Park:

                  Now the years are rolling by me
                  They are rocking easily
                  I am older than I once was
                  And younger than I’ll be
                  But that’s not unusual.
                  No, it isn’t strange
                  After changes upon changes
                  We are more or less the same,
                  After changes we are
                  More or less the same.
