Snippets from a Paul Simon interview in The Washington Post, December 1977

So many interviewers from this era seemed to assume any form of introspective and meaningful songwriting couldn’t possibly coexist with any level of lightheartedness or laughter within a person… The idea that people could..do both? Absolutely not. Inconceivable! Did the line “I never laughed so long” go straight over this guy’s head? Anyway, the image of Art putting his back out through uncontrollable laughter is too amusing.

Well.

Back with another episode of S&G College Article Gems!

This was the entirety of the write-up from Harpur College (Binghamton) in January 1967–their first show back after a winter break. There were sound/technical issues the whole night with Paul’s guitar and Art had a bad head cold and sounded miserable in the post-show interview. The author wasted no words in telling people that it was a bad show 💀

The audio of the interview still exists and is 25 minutes of Paul and Art’s wonderfully sarcastic responses to a terrible interviewer. There will likely be a montage of the funniest quotes to come, if anyone’s interested 🙃

Stunning! ❤️‍🔥
