Cover art for Bleecker Street lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

i've read an art garfunkel quote saying that the "thirty dollars pays your rent" is actually a reference to the bible- though i don't recall exactly how. i think there are several throughout the song- road to caanan, the shepards from the sheep. i'd give the link, but i don't remember what the website was...

beautiful song, though.

@howtobegood Seriously!? Thirty pieces of silver!!!

@howtobegood 30 pieces of silver paid to Judas for his betrayal of Christ is my guess.
