Solid heterosexual credentials, uh?

My sibling in whatever deity you wish, have you ever watched 'em on stage together? In pics together? Like, together in general?

They surely loved other people, no denying that, don't get me wrong. But they sure as hell DID love each other.

"heterosexual credentials" LMAOOOOOO

@menlove you have to see this

Always wondered what the fucking hell Paul was doing here.

Just yes.

I feel like no one talks about how hard the last verse of The Boxer hits and it is a tragedy

Well, in case anyone needed more reasons to despise him, here are a few 😇

Today I bring you a 1980 Paul interview that made me lose my mind like nothing else : )

OF COURSE IT ISSSSS

SO GLAD SOMEBODY FINALLY SAID IT OUT LOUD 😭

YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME THAT TRAVILING BOY WASN'T A SEQUEL TO LIVING BOY IN NY YOU CANTTTT

Art Garfunkel isn’t real what the fuck

Love affair, calling paul “damn good” and referring to himself as a midwife to deliver Paul’s song babies is just a coming out confession in its self

art garfunkel literally out of nowhere: paul simon and i were intertwined souls before we were not. him and i procreated and got pregnant and gave birth simultaneously to the child that is simon and garfunkel,

people in real life: hey man how's it going

Well, of course my favorite is PSRT - obvious, much? 😜

Anyway, why?

Well, I love them all equally tbh, but PSRT holds a special place in my heart. It feels like early Autumn days, a soft breeze that's not too cold, cozy moments in at night but still bright days to spend outside... it's a feeling, you know? It's a liminal album. And I'm a liminal being. So I love it.

Studio album only. Not including The Graduate soundtrack, compilation albums, live albums, or watching The Concert In Central Park which is just the best thing ever...

Glad to provide a lovely pic I personally hadn't seen before. Aren't they cute?? Yes, yes they are.

Don't know where and when it was taken, but from Paul's beard and Artie's overall stunningness I reckon it's around fall 1968.

Original post and live recording of America Live in Cleveland Public Auditorium, Ohio 1968-10-27 (highly recommended) via FB group Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel - The Harmony Game

I think you're looking for this:

"We were around age 13 and 14. We started rehearsing in an amazingly professional way at a very early age. We had this tape recorder and this thing of trying to sound like the real people… The next thing to do was to get real good in singing so we’d sing and harmonize and hold very serious long rehearsals in his basement and he’d strum and we’d work on a song. We’d be sitting nose-to-nose looking right at each other’s mouths to copy diction. I’d want to know exactly where his tongue would hit the top of his palate when he’d say a “T,” to know exactly how to get that “T” right. And I could see that you could be almost right or even better than almost right and that all of that really was the difference between whether or not it sounded professional. Then once you had it very precise you cooled it out and made it seem effortless."

ffs someone pls help me ive been searching for an hour trying to find this quote... i think its garfunkel talking about paul simon but it could be vice versa, but they describe a moment when they have their faces pressed close together, something about feeling eachothers breathing or mouths or something? maybe looking in eachothers' eyes? idk pls help

Thank you for reminding me that Artie told that story more than once! He's crazy and I fuckin' love him for that 🥹

Does anyone have the slightest idea about what the hell Paul was trying to do with that hand/mouth gesture?

I mean... apart from the most obvious hint. Or am I the only one seeing it?

Welp.

Anyway, I've always loved this pic.

Go vote! I know it's a very tough choice, but go.

Tbh I have two favorites, Bridge and Only Living Boy, but since my favorite version of Bridge is a demo one for this poll I chose Only Living Boy. And also because of... well, reasons.

BOTW won the poll results for favorite S&G album…. Now:

Poll: favorite Song off the original 1970 studio album Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel:

Feelin' not so groovy, uh?

A pair of expatriate artists, I guess it could be anyone - but of course we're all thinking he was with that person, right? That special friend, whose name is very well known.

What did we know of the proper forms of love? Well, this of course could mean a lot of things, but it's always made me think about a love that many would find inappropriate, even offensive - like love between two men back when they were young. Just saying.

You could pretend a friend was a lover - yes, let us be lovers.

I don't know, of course.

What I know is, I do believe Artie loved Paul very much, and Paul did love him back, even if just for a moment. Whatever form that love took, it was there. And if you ask me, I think this kind of verses by Artie speak exactly of that love. That special kind of love they shared, that love no one but them seemed to really grasp, and most still don't grasp today.

What is this Art Garfunkel? Who is this about? Explain yourself.

Very similar ones, to say the least *_* Gotta love 'em, and I do.

Ok guys, one more round of...

The Ring(s)!

So, we're all familiar with Paul's ring he wore through the 60s and mysteriously disappeared by the end of '69/beginning of '70, right?

And most of us must be familiar with Artie's ring he apparently wore one time (at least on his finger) in '68.

Here are some nice pics where you can see both anyway.

So, let's speculate.

Shall I start?

I do believe Paul's ring was very important to him. He always seemed to show it, too (poses and such). I don't think it's a coincidence that he stopped wearing it around the time things went bad with Artie. Might be a coincidence as well, but I don't believe in such things.

Artie's ring appeared only once thus far worn on the same finger of the same hand as Paul's (and we all know what that finger and hand mean, yeah? At least, where I'm from). To me it looks different but also somehow similar - it's kinda big, not the ring that goes unnoticed. Maybe it was a fashionable type of back then? These two don't really seem like they care about fashion items though, so I'd dare to say that Artie's ring probably meant something too. Fascinating how it only appeared once. Maybe he wore it as a pendant? Or kept it in his pocket?

Anyway, please let's talk about it once more!

Pics of the concerts can be found here - worth reading, too!
