Ok But Also The Fact That Earlier On That Day Art Was Wearing Black Pants (seen Here In This Photo Before

Paul Simon may be small but I’ve always gotten the impression that he’s extremely heavy and dense like if you tried to pick him up it would be like trying to pick up a statue made of lead

The way he speaks about him oh my

““Please don’t leave out the word love. I loved this guy Paul Simon, and I loved him when I was 13 when I met him. This love permeates the recording session…You got the love in from Paul and Artie? You got that in? It’s a very deep, entwined friendship. It bewitches me. That’s a key point. It doesn’t sell well, though. It’s not negative, it’s not dirty and you’re not going to sell many papers. It doesn’t take the low road.””

— - Art Garfunkel

People will caption a picture of two middle aged men with “do you think they explored each other’s bodies?” like they are straight married and have 2 kids each. But yes I honest to God do.

From Tangents magazine, 1966

“Simon & Garfunkel had a peculiar type of groupie. We had the poetic groupies. The girls that followed us around weren’t necessarily looking to sleep with us as much as they were looking to read us their poetry or discuss literature or play their own songs …. I wound up going back to the room and smoking a joint and going to sleep by myself. Most of the time, sometimes not.”

— Paul Simon, quoted by Jon Landau in a Rolling Stone interview (July 20th, 1972)

the world is directing so much intolerable cruelty and unfairness towards the palestinian people to placate the israeli ego and soothe colonial anxieties, as though they haven't already been trying to rewrite history for 75 years. what makes them think it will work this time? don't they understand that history written in blood is even harder to erase than history written in press releases? do they plan to move on from 13,000 murdered children to a stronger and more secure israel? or are they too stupid to see they're ushering in a fragile and unstable world order of right-wing demagogues with overpowered militaries? that'll work out.

Artie joined the guys from the Simon & Garfunkel Story tribute band on stage after Bridge in Staten Island, New York, 2 March 2024, and then hung around with them backstage (x)
