Bridge over troubled water

My girlfriend and I watched the movie The Pursuit of Happiness tonight. Grossly overrated movie but it does include a really nice version of Simon and Garfunkel's song, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" sung by Roberta Flack from her 1971 album Quiet Fire. Here's YouTube clip from one of Simon and Garfunkel's live performances:

I really love that song. I would kill to be able to sing it the way Art Garfunkel does. I really would. Most of the time, when people say they would kill for something, it's just a euphemism, "I'd kill for a doughnut right now, I could just kill someone, you kill me...etc" But I really mean it. I would actually commit cold blooded murder in order to be able to sing like that. I mean, I wouldn't kill my sister or my parents. In fact, there's a pretty long list of people whom I would not kill no matter what I would get in return. But the guy who gave me a parking ticket last week, the woman at the DMV who wouldn't give me my plates, Anne Coulter... I would truly consider killing one or more of these people in order to be able to hit some of those high notes in a song like "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
What a great song ;-)
