Paul Simon: I get morbid
04/06/2006 - 14:07:14Paul Simon has to keep writing and recording songs to stop himself from obsessing about death.
The 64-year-old hitmaker plunges into morbid misery whenever he takes a break from the piano, and prefers to keep busy to stave off his mortal fears.
He says: "I don't know how to deal with the dread.
"My mother is 96. My father is gone.
"It's a privilege to have your mind distracted by music and not to have to think about that."
