from river to the sea

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

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.

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.

Ok who did this?

🤨

Reading Art’s poetry can be strangest experience ever I stg
