Well, he had Artie to create that magic with.

Anyway yes, listen to Bookends.

listening to Bookends cover to cover is an excellent way to spend an early Sunday evening. it’s essentially a masterpiece. I have been talking about and enjoying s&g since I was a young child and honestly I’m going to spend the rest of my life talking about how good this shit is clearly. It’s just that their music and words are deeply embedded into my own personal life experience. Bookends is a concept album as well as a masterpiece which is double the delight. my fav tracks are as follows in this order:

1. America 2. Punky’s Dilemma 3. At The Zoo 4. Mrs. Robinson 5. Bookends Theme 6. Fakin’ It 7. Overs

The rest are good and part of the cohesive flow, but these tracks specifically facilitate in growing little wings around my heart in order to let it soar upon listen. How did Paul Simon do it? I know he’s famous as fuck but idk feel like s&g is underrated.

Listen to Bookends.

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

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.

Ok, canon. 😎

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