When I first heard about this album, I thought, “Why would Paul Simon want to do an album about Elvis Presley’s house?” A friend informed me the album was about Africa, not Elvis Presley’s house.

I don’t think my friend heard this album. The whole album isn’t about Graceland, but the song that gives its title to the album is definitely about Graceland. Shows how you can’t rely on friends—at least when it comes to music interpretation.
