What does he mean when he says "Call me Al?" I have loved the Graceland album since I was about seven years old, but have until now been blissfully ignorant about what several of the songs mean. However, today I thought, maybe, I had a flash of inspiration about Call Me Al. I was wondering if other people had ideas on what it is about, what it means, or what he was trying to say. I won't share my insight because I don't want to prejudice the answers!<br> (I recognize the possibility that there is no mystery and everyone else knows what this song is about and I am just fantastically dense. If that is the case, humor me.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.33294 Fri, 24 Feb 2006 17:50:05 -0800 CallMeAl Graceland PaulSimon songlyrics ohio
