paul simon interviewed by ann moses, 1966
Simon and Garfunkel performing My Little Town on SNL in 1975.
Ohhh this is fun! Thanks for tagging me @boxesofmold
1. I love them both but if held at gunpoint probably Paul
2. Paul
3. Bro has issues and is kind of a control freak with perfectionism which is is just like me tbh haha (also I think I’m funny and I’m short too).
4. I try not to be insane about it but there’s definitely something that went down between them
5. Probably a tree 😭
6. Playing guitar. I already play bass and my voice isn’t amazing
7. Basic choice I know but BOTW. I swear it literally changed my life.
8. Fakin’ it (username checks out)
9. April come she will because it’s almost April and it has been on repeat lately
10. Hiking with Art. I’m shockingly bad at sports and I know nothing about baseball so I’d probably deeply offend Paul.
11. Never meet them. All I wish for is for them to be friends again tbh.
12. I reckon Paul gives bear hugs so probably that option.
13. Ok this one is genuinely tricky for me…Probably Art’s voice because I study English so I can write pretty well (I’ll never be on Paul’s level though haha)
14. This one is funny af. I’m a lesbian so I’d let them marry LMAO
15. I’m not attracted to either of them but 60s Art is definitely more ‘pretty’ while 80s Paul is more ‘hot’ (I am so sorry 😭)
16. Either would be a nightmare sorryyy
17. Paul as an English teacher so he can teach me his ways
18. I’ve always loved their music but I think I really got into the fandom when I first listened to BOTW in full.
19. Mrs Robinson
20. My parents playing their greatest hits album in the car on all road trip.
21. How insane we are. Also how niche it is.
22. Artie - Breakaway Paul - Hearts and Bones
23. Artie - I only have eyes for you Paul - Peace like a river
24. Yes but just for the meme I swear 🙄🙄🙄
25. Ok it’s a lot and it was good actually
26. It was actually very fun ❤️
27. @times-up-alone-tonight and @hunginjeet any of my other followers feel free to participate too 💞

do you ever listen to this song and just go so profoundly insane its as if you will never ever recover? do you ever think about Paul simon "half of the time we're gone but we don't know where, we don't know where, the only living boy in new york" and art garfunkel replying with "here i am" in the most haunting harmonies that could fill a canyon? i mean do you ever think about that.
Paul simon wrote a lot of songs about art garfunkel. which could mean nothing
started reading art garfunkel’s memoir on the train. gayest straight man alive. no wonder he’s bi
“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)
Did anyone else think they looked drunk or high here? They’re so silly
Simon & Garfunkel - Think Too Much
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.
This photo is so haunting to me. If you haven’t already seen the second part of In restless dreams I highly recommend it. Very interesting!
Simon & Garfunkel
He looks so lonely this was probably when Art was in Mexico. Every time I listen to song for the asking I imagine these photos

Thanks for uploading this they’re so silly
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.
What Paul said in that documentary…the last damn line…it’s so over…
Simon and Garfunkel scrapped shots, 60s
This is from 1970 so my theory is they found out S&G were splitting up and couldn’t cope with this reminder LMAO
Who would like to adopt Simon & Garfunkel for free?
"Affectionate"
i need people to watch this clip from the new ted series i cant stop laughing
Ok just saw your most recent rebog - here is my question. What is your hottest take about S&G?
Ha, my hottest take. Let's see.
While I don't really believe Paul and Art were in love like the I'll love you forever marry me kind of love, I am quite convinced they fucked at some point.
They at least kissed...and it led to more lmao. Perhaps they were high or drunk when it happened and then maybe they each tried to deny it, but I cannot believe that in such a close friendship/partnership/thing they had, nothing of a sexual nature ever happened.
Take Art’s poem about all the tequilas he had with Paul for example. He's trying to convince the audience that it's about the two of them trying not to throw up...meanwhile 'tickle of the tonsils' is also slang for fellatio. 😌 So clever with words, our Artie.
Another hot take: Art, Paul, Penny and Carrie had a foursome.
hi guys!! awesome rare interview I found :D
Art Garfunkel “I’ll always be taller than you” will always be famous to me
I AM GONNA BE SO ANNOYING THIS IS NOT EVEN FUNNY (also ‘Artie that was a good friendship’…I’m gonna cry)
Trailer for In Restless Deams, coming March 17 to MGM+
"Artie...that was a good friendship"
