PAUL SIMON once had to explain to JOE DIMAGGIO that he wasnt dissing him in Mrs. Robinson . . . when he sang, quote, Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you . . . Whats that you say, Mrs. Robinson, Joltin Joe has left and gone away? In a new interview, Paul says that he bumped into Joe at a restaurant one time . . . and went over to say hi. Paul says, quote, He said, Whyd you say that? Im here, everyone knows Im here. I said, I dont mean it that way . . . I meant, where are these great heroes now? He was flattered once he understood that it was meant to be flattering. Paul adds that MICKEY MANTLE once asked him why he didnt name-check HIM, and Paul said its because his name had, quote, the wrong amount of syllables.
