Paul Is, To This Day, A Houseplant King 🙏🪴

Obsessed with these matching cassette tape covers.

then what's the fucking point

i gotta talk….. something so crazy about paul simon and his relationship with his father and seeing a kid sing a song at a school recital when he was in grade school and deciding to ask him over to play music together and studying his mouth and the shape of it and the way it moves so you can sing just like him and having a fight with him and your father tells your best friend that he doesn’t like him very much. and you go off to school and find him again and remember that he is your oldest friend and you rekindle your friendship and then start on your future together and you sleep in hotel rooms with magic fingers and think what great fun to be so young and writing music and famous! and then he goes off to be an actor and you are so heartbroken you write a best selling album about it and then you break up your world famous act and he can’t understand why you would do it and then you hear his albums and think they’re just not him not even close so you write him a song and he suggests you do it together just like old times. then you rekindle your friendship and give the biggest concert Central Park has ever seen and then you get into such a vicious fight during the subsequent tour that you want to kill each other and then out of the blue you’re back together for a reunion tour decades later and you say you’re done fighting but you never call him back and you only begin to understand the relationship you had with your father when you’re older than you ever thought you’d be and have released what will be your likely last album that’s about dying and religion

Thanks for sharing this @frederic-simon-and-ira-garfunkel. One of my favourite interviews because it’s so interesting to see Art’s perspective of things post breakup. This has to be one of my favourite parts - I few like it explains a lot about why Art’s attitude in interviews seems so odd sometimes.
