I highly recommend that if you haven’t already please read this article. It’s amazing and a goldmine truly. Special thanks to @boysnberryfan for sharing it with me.
[About Art] Is it fair to characterize your relationship of thirty years as complicated as most marriages? (x)
Simon & Garfunkel, 1966
Each bullet point is funnier than the last
Ok so is this what Art meant when he said:
‘But then we'll be on stage and the three of us make this sound - me, him and the guitar, and we're eleven once more, and in love all over again.’
It's so easy to forget they were angry at each other sometimes, when they're looking at each other like that.
The Concert in Central Park, 19 September 1981
Love it when Paul does stupid shit with his scarf. Swear he did it at the end of Shivaree too.
btw imagine being at paul simon's 70th birthday party and his old buddy is gonna read a poem and u think oh probably gonna be something funny. something light-hearted. maybe a bit in there about growing up together or something. and then art garfunkel comes out and says "he was born three weeks before me, my dear. but he was a premature baby. were we both conceived at the same instant?"
When I said: "You'll outlast me, you live more carefully." He said: "Write out what you want to." Ok, it's hard to say I knew him well, He was enigmatic to himself. Which of us was more aware? Which the elder? I was born November fifth. He on October 13th - a few weeks premature, you following me? He was born three weeks before me, my dear, But he was a premature baby. Were we both conceived at the same instant? February 5th 1941, the dead middle of winter, In the heart of World War Two Was I born at the right time? For 70 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. We say it's exhausting to compete, But we shine for each other. It's still our favourite game. It goes on, this embrace, whether I speak for him or he for me: Love ruled our lives. It rules the mourners, And the winter of longevity.
Art Garfunkel's Poem performed at Paul Simon's 70th Birthday Party, 2011
Asked what Simon's reaction was, he admitted: "I don't know - he was at the other side of the room. I dared not look."
Happy Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel conception day guys (February 5th) (I’m not even joking)
Ok this and the fact that Paul looks at Art and then at the camera when he sings “we might as well be apart” in overs.
The way they look at each other at the end 😐
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel in the studio. 📸: Linda McCartney
why is every picture of simon & garfunkel on here captioned some shit like “i wish someone would fuck me the way they fuck each other” how am i supposed to reblog that
remember when paul simon said no to doing the midnight cowboy soundtrack
Yeah yeah well. Whatever
the fact that the girls that never write are uhh. Artie. man has been lying through his teeth for sixty years.
Paul trying to get Art's attention multiple times - Shivaree, January 1966
Paul Simon in the 1960s wearing sunglasses
Bonus: Artie wearing them (headcanon: he stole them from Paul)
My honest reaction to this
“I think my dad and Paul will always be best friends. There is a lot of love. They are in touch. Things are going in a good direction..”
Whilst a reunion/tour seems like wishful thinking at this point (though what do I know..), the “they are in touch” part is very lovely, long overdue news!

GUYS READ THIS
even if art garfunkel jr is lying idgaf… RPF warrior!
Happy 54th birthday to the album that permanently altered my brain chemistry.
Simon & Garfunkel + matching (or almost matching) outfits
Yes, scarves count as matching outfits, as do black turtlenecks- I don’t make the rules.
