Paul Simon: Kodachrome Meaning
Song Released: 1973
Kodachrome Lyrics
On all the crap I learned in high school
Its a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu---cation
Hasnt hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They...

Its seems as if the person is out of high school and thinking back to his younger years realizing that he should have been a better student and live a better future career wise.
He then thinks of his social life and remember the good times he had with women and is weighing the difference of having a good education while living a less social life. Sound familair? -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

with such a deep excursion into the mind and souls of paul simon i couldn't improve on anything the first commenter said. as far as bob dylan actually commenting i don't think so. time to come out of your self imposed life as dylan. dylan in public forums as tv interviews never has a bad word about any singer past present and as far into the future he has left,he's not into that. as he said i'll know my song well before i start singing is a direct opposite of your errors in spelling and grammar. for paul simon i like him a lot since back in the day. i think his kodachrome is his vision of what he wants his future to be. he has touched on this plan in many of his older songs.

Most times poets mean (or intend) one thing. Sometimes not. However, in this song he is being playful and perverse. It is indeed about an adolescent or a High School adolescent drop out who thanks God Himself for these beatifull colorized (even better than the real thing) picutered girly-girls--they all want me so!
"If you took all the girls I knew when I was single, but them all together for one night"--Yikes! Paul's a damn pervert, creep!!!
