And though he’s not overly vocal about his views, he isn’t completely out of the game either. He’s a lifelong Democrat, supporting such Democrats through history as Michael Dukakis and Hillary Clinton and, over the years, giving over $49,000 to Democrats and Democrat support organizations.9

He’s been fairly vocal about universal health care, particularly when it comes to health care for children. Simon even appeared and spoke at a press conference alongside some of the country’s highest-ranking Democrats in favor of state-sponsored health care for kids.10

Two friends and I used great subterfuge to con our way into a Paul Simon fundraising concert to benefit US Senator Bill Bradley.

It was after Graceland and was with the whole band he put together for the upcoming Rhythm of the Saints tour, though that record had not been released yet.

There's many details, including my friend having to pretend to be mentally handicapped, but suffice to say we had a private box for the show and didn't put a nickel into the Bradley campaign
