Paul Simon was introduced by Sen. Al Franken and Sarah Silverman before performing “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” during opening night of the Democratic Convention. Franken and Silverman joked that two people who don’t agree on Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton are like a “bridge over troubled water” before the music icon took the stage of Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. While the Gop was mocked for its lack of star power, which featured Scott Baio and “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson at last week’s convention, the Democratic Party brought out Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Silverman and Simon on the first night.
