Driven mad by one of Garfunkel’s Still Water poems.
Lorne and Susan are a reference to Lorne Michaels and his then-wife Susan Forristal. The neighbor? Well—
The beginning of the poem, “I seem to lean on old familiar ways”, is a direct quote from Simon’s Still Crazy After All These Years:
The poem’s closing line is suitably bittersweet I think.
SERVING CUNT
I'm losing my mind
Simon & Garfunkel, 1966
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.
the neurotypical mind couldn’t bare comprehend a classic rock autist’s vision of gender
You know what Artie I fucking hate when people don't communicate
Yeah man me too !
From notable communicators Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel who will not be petty and miscommunicate and blow things out of proportion and stop talking for ages rinsing and repeating this cycle
For seventy years his arm has been around my shoulder
He’s dazzled me with gifts-
I nurtured him in his youth-
He brought me into prominence-
I taught him to sing-
He connected my voice to the world-
I made him tall-
All of our personal belongings are intertwined
