Some Vintage Buttons I've Collected

Mars Argo wallpaper :) (I did not take these photos neither do I won them I just put them together)

Ok this and the fact that Paul looks at Art and then at the camera when he sings “we might as well be apart” in overs.

I have to tell you how deeply this image haunts me. I feel like I have a personal relationship with this image. I keep it readily available in my files so that I can occasionally look at it and see it and remember that I didn’t make it up. There is such a complex lore attached to this image which I will freely admit to having made up entirely in my head. but I wholeheartedly believe it to be true, and on the basis of this belief my perception of the world and of Simon and Garfunkel as a duo has been fundamentally and irrevocably changed. Paul Simon was actively crossdressing in the late 50s/early 60s and Paul and Art would go out to clubs as a straight couple. This is not true. But look at that image and tell me that it’s not true. That’s Paul Simon in there.

Paul trying to get Art's attention multiple times - Shivaree, January 1966

I met Paul in our school play, Alice in Wonderland. He was this funny guy who cracked me up all the time. We loved “Earth Angel” and we emulated the Everly Brothers. We would stare at each other’s mouths to copy each other’s diction. I would watch where the tongue hit the palate when Paul said a t. We would be nose to nose. When you’re very young, you’re insane. You’re a fanatic about your loves. The world hasn’t shown you how to corral the thing and be normal.

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

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

There was a magical time for modern music, loosely between 1955 and the end of the 20th century, yet a very small percentage of it will surv

Went for an eye test today and they found a small image of American singer-songwriter Paul Simon burned permanently into my retinas in the same way images get permanently burned into old TV's when you have the one thing on screen for too long.
