Honestly, If We Dont Get A Scene Like This In Season 2 Of Our Flag Means Death, What Even Is The Point??

Ancient Romans sacrificed birds to the goddess Isis, burnt bones in Pompeii reveal

The ancient remains of at least 10 birds have been found at a temple of Isis in the Roman city of Pompeii, indicating that birds were a key

Isis was worshipped all over the Mediterranean, generally in site-specific avatars. Poor birds, though.

What. The. Fuck. Have. I. Just. Read. ?

A wild ride indeed, my friend.

Are we gonna buy this whole Mary Smith thing?

Walden combined with awful shyness and moving outside himself i s a mood, anyway.

This is by far the most wild ride that a college S&G article has ever taken me on. And given the vast array of horrors in my article clippings tag, that’s saying something.

Well, Bookends took a long time to (write and) record indeed, and I remember reading somewhere that part of the delays were due both to Paul's writer's block and to Artie not feeling too well for some periods of time through 67/68. But I may be wrong. Or it may be false anyway.

Nevermind what they went through to make it though, as they did a marvelous job on that album. Saying that Bookends is not "put together adequately" is bullshit, artist.

Anyway, thanks to this "Hell was frozen over" I now have a picture of Paul and Artie burnt in my brain: them begging some CBS boss, possibly Mr Davis himself, in a Jake Blues style. Ifkyk.

"Honest! I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts! It wasn't my fault! I swear to God!"

Today’s episode of ‘reviews that use a whole lot of words to say nothing of value,’ featuring a very odd series of attempted insults towards Bookends. Supposedly “hell was frozen over” during the writing/recording process and “Simon and Garfunkel were unable to really put it together adequately.”

A few people might disagree 💀

Ah yes, I'm sure Artie would have contributed more to songwriting (and spent less time ill/exhausted) if he wasn't studying in the meantime.

Don't believe me? Listen to his album Everything Waits to Be Noticed, he co-wrote many of the songs and they're beautiful. Just think what he and Paul could've created if only he had more time/trusted more in his songwriting abilities.

dear god we need to rethink simon and garfunkels entire career. he was literally in grad school

Hello, I'm dead.
