The story behind Maggie May – I understand that in his autobiography Rod wrote”\u00a0At 16, I went to the Beaulieu Jazz Festival in the New Forest. I’d snuck in with some mates via an overflow sewage pipe. And there on a secluded patch of grass, I lost my not-remotely-prized virginity with an older (and larger) woman who’d come on to me very strongly in the beer tent. How much older, I can’t tell you – but old enough to be highly disappointed by the brevity of the experience”.<\/p>\n
It’s also said that the line “Hello darkness, my old friend,” (from The Sound of Silence) came from Paul Simon’s time as a boy when he would sing in the bathroom with the lights out.<\/p>\n
