PAUL SIMON: Does Not Regret How He Made Graceland

Paul Simon doesn't regret that he broke the worldwide anti-apartheid boycott by hiring South African musicians to record his 1986 album Graceland. Thursday night at a London screening of the documentary Under African Skies, he said he's not troubled with his decision "because there's a happy outcome, and the musicians wanted to get their music out there in the world."

The film addresses both sides of the question -- and ends with an apology and hug between Simon and Dali Tambo, the son of one of the leaders of South Africa's peaceful revolution.
