I've almost got it! Except, I don't recognize the man, his garb, what he's holding, the building behind him or the city.

I recognize Paul Simon.

Hah, well, I've got you beaten: I don't even recognize Paul Simon.

I think, if we put our heads together, we can solve this one! We have all the raw materials.

Hints:

  • The city is New York.
  • The garb is judicial.
  • Paul Simon is not the senator.
  • The bows are Japanese.

At some point, you'll have pity and tell us, right? Give us the song, maybe?

Okay, I know who it is, and (maybe) what he's holding. I can't spoonerize that into anything that sounds like a Simon lyric, except for one that is so imperfect as to be really, really wrong.

Well, if it seems really, really wrong, then I hope it's not right, because I would hate to be that disappointing. But it is indeed imperfect, so it's possible that what you've come up with is what I had in mind. (For what it's worth, the one person I've shared the answer with in person agreed that it was a bit of a stretch, but still close enough to be cute.)

Have you identified the building yet? It's a conservatory.

And I can't give you the title of the song, because it's contained in the lyrics represented here.

Oh my god, that's the song I was thinking (I think!), but the building was key, wasn't it, and I didn't have it.

I'm not sure how to manage the blackout in comments.

If you type this:
<span style="color: #000000; background: #000000;">This text will be black, on a black background.</span>
It will show up like this:

Oh, very good. Thanks. I should keep that tiny tutorial for later; it could come in handy.

My guess is: "See yumi and Scalia down by the Juilliard."

We have a winner!

Yay! You should picture me jumping up and down like a game show contestant.
