I Can't Remember For The Life Of Me Who Posted An Article On Here Where Artie Said That Paul Is Not A

I can't remember for the life of me who posted an article on here where Artie said that Paul is not a poet but a songwriter, or something along the lines - maybe it was you, @more-or-less-the-same ? Anyway, I thought I had a memory of Paul saying the same thing more than once over the years, in the 60s at least, and surprise surprise, Art's FB page posted an article where our favorite sensitive poet (cookies if you get the reference) says just this. Kinda interesting article, all in all, I think - "stretching to his full 5'4" height" must be my new favorite line about Paul.

I keep wondering why he is so... so.

“Before there was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, there was Simon and Garfunkel — an extraordinary, a singular love affair. There is no gay component in the two of us that I am aware of, but the way these two lives wrapped around each other is poetically stunning. From age eleven to today, a span of sixty-four years, Art and Paul have been at work to entertain, win the respect of, and dazzle one another. It worked so well that the whole world pulled up chairs to watch and listen.”

Agreed.

To keep going on the theme of the Heart and Bones breakup, here you can hear both their points of view and at 3:05… Let’s just say it’s the saddest I’ve ever heard Art’s voice.

Gotta love Penny. 💜

Tonight I bring you two increasingly chaotic Simon & Garfunkel anecdotes, courtesy of Penny Marshall from her autobiography, "My Mother Was Nuts."

That's the shirt Artie wears on Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme! Not to mention during that marvelous live in France, thinking of it.

Am I the only psycho who spots a bit of tenderness and a glimpse of cautious hope in their eyes around the Central Park era? Probably so. Anyway, I've always loved these pics.
