I heard the song “Mrs Robinson” in the pub earlier today. It famously name checks the great Joe DiMaggio (“Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio, A nation turns its lonely eyes to you”).
Given everything going on in the world, I couldn’t help but think of Paul Simon’s words after the “Yankee Clipper” died in 1999:
“In these days of Presidential transgressions…we grieve for Joe DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of privacy…and the power of his silence.”
