From Tangents Magazine, 1966

do you see my vision.

Paul Simon cape (and tie) & Art Garfunkel sweater appreciation post- London, c. October 1966.

Absolutely one million percent holding hands in the last one, it’s not even up for discussion.

there's a spotify account with your name on it, which as of right now only has using you. Is it actually you or is it a fake?

fake, for now

I would like the to add the way Paul speaks about Art in the second part of In restless dreams too. Specifically the bit where he talks about working with Art on Hearts and Bones (before his part got scrapped). Paul just seems so hurt about his relationship with Art and this is probably how he copes with it?

"We do not refer to Beatles songs as early Paul McCartney songs or early George Harrison songs. They are Beatles songs. (...) Rolling Stones songs are not referred to as Jagger's or Richards’s songs. Ray Davies wrote most of the Kinks’ songs but we do not call them early Ray Davies songs. The songs of Simon & Garfunkel were a collaborative effort, and are distinctly different from Paul Simon’s successful solo career. The works of Simon & Garfunkel have won many awards in the name of Simon & Garfunkel. They are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the name of Simon & Garfunkel." "Art Garfunkel was Paul Simon’s missing ingredient. Without him you’ve got smoke but not the explosion that was Simon & Garfunkel."

Thanks fuck somebody said this. Bravo.

Do not allow Art Garfunkel to be written out of history

An early demo of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Only Living Boy in New York” (excerpted from the 1975 BBC series on the duo). I wish this line had made it into the final version!

every time I see a new photo of my favourite old man I say yippe and jump ten foot in the air

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to speculate about the sexual and romantic undertones of celebrities’ professional relationships

It's not his birthday but it's almost his birthday!!!!!

the neurotypical mind couldn’t bare comprehend a classic rock autist’s vision of gender

My honest reaction to this

“I think my dad and Paul will always be best friends. There is a lot of love. They are in touch. Things are going in a good direction..”

Whilst a reunion/tour seems like wishful thinking at this point (though what do I know..), the “they are in touch” part is very lovely, long overdue news!
