I Mean, They Could've Named Themselves Drama Queens From Queens...

I mean, they could've named themselves Drama queens from Queens...

Having to choose though, I'd go with Paul.

Truth be told, Paul didn't keep being a folk singer for long, so Artie was right, in a sense.

Anyway, let's play basketball, weeeee! 🤣

Would expect nothing less from the guy who shot 102 free throws in a row with a lung infection 💀

The Exponent (Baldwin Wallace University), 10/27/67.

And the other idiot still asking himself 50 years later or so why didn't he write him.

"In May of ’69, Mike took the film to Rome, and Paul’s writing changed from “I know your part’ll go fine”—words of a deep friendship (“The Only Living Boy in New York”)—to “Why don’t you write me?”—words of frustration.

(...)

Why didn’t I write him? No doubt Paul and I enriched each other’s lives immeasurably. Where could the crazy notion come from of moving on from this wonderful duo? From hurt. From crazy motion. If Paul felt Mike had given me the means to “sock it to him,” maybe I was doing just that. Why didn’t I write him? Who are these two sensitive Jewish boys whose mothers loved them so much? Who throws the stone and who throws the return stone? Whose stone is imagined? Whose real?"

Of course, taken from What Is It All but Luminous: Notes From An Underground Man by Artie himself.

hes so crazy like. if i dont hear from you right now im going to kill myself

Music History Today: May 14, 2023

May 14, 1966: Simon and Garfunkel moved from Number 62 to 24 on the US singles chart with "I Am a Rock." It peaked at Number 3. Simon was going solo at this time because the Simon & Garfunkel 1964 debut album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. had stiffed, and the duo split up.

Late in 1965, the producer Tom Wilson overdubbed and remixed a track from that album, "The Sound Of Silence," and it became a huge hit. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were summoned back to the studio, where they recorded the singles "I Am A Rock" and "Homeward Bound."

Ok, canon. 😎

only referring to them as “Paul Simon (mustache)” and “Art Garfunkle (weird hair)” from now on.

"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
