[edit] Jimmy Carter
I May be wrong, but didn't Paul Simon perform "American Tune" for Carter, not "America"? Cheers, Vera, Chuck & Dave 21:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- I can't find anything (apart from sites starting to mirror this article) confirming "America" was the song performed. Please cite the sourse or I will remove it. A citation request was made on 13 Oct. and questioned it's inclusion on the 3rd. Vera, Chuck & Dave 14:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

- There is nothing I can find to confirm this song was performed for Jimmy Carter, I am removing it. If anyone can find a sourse, (other than a mirror) please put it in Vera, Chuck & Dave 18:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Basis for humorous short story
Although I can't find it, the song was the basis for a short story published in (I think) a "best of the year" mystery short story anthology. In the story, a young man named Paul is being questioned by an anonymous official, and as the dialog progresses it becomes apparent that the reason Paul is being questioned is that he and his girlfriend seem to have breached the cover of a spy whom they encountered on a Greyhound bus ... 76.126.4.90 (talk) 22:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
