This is a brilliant cover of the song - IMO far better than the original, which is a real achievement. Simon and Garfunkel are one of the best songwriting teams ever, and their versions of most songs are not only the best ,but pretty well unbeatable. However, in this case, by taking a rockier approach to it, I think the Bangles have done a great song real justice.

I agree from a different perspective - the "rockier approach" goes with how older people are rejecting decrepitude as a lifestyle - so that "60 is the new 40."

Many of us who are entering our sixth decade of life don't really FEEL ready to give up. We still want to rock.
