Musical Moment: Paul Simon Sings 'The Sound Of Silence'
September 11, 2011,  11:05 am
Update at 11:55 a.m. ET: NPR's Margot Adler, who has been covering the New York ceremony, tells us that Simon (according to the official program) had been expected to perform "Bridge Over Troubled Water." The response to his choice to do "The Sound of Silence" instead, though, indicates it was a good decision.
