It’s a sad day for nostalgia but again I am not necessary a fan of the past, since I think we should let it go and shouldn’t rehash it all the time.
In an interview he did with BBC Radio 4, Paul Simon said that he will never record with Art Garfunkel again, and that a reunion between the two is very unlikely, a ‘moot point’ as he put it. No, it has nothing to do with the two being in bad terms again, it is just that Garfunkel has the same trouble with his vocal chords that made them postpone last year's 13-date tour.
Sadly – or not depending how you feel about these kinds of things – Simon said that he would ‘not go back and visit the past’.
Can you believe it? Last time they worked together was for their 1970's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'!! More than 40 years ago, but I had no idea they had some project to actually record something together again.
Simon should just concentrate on ‘Graceland’ ‘s 25th anniversary and all the stuff happening around it, like this ‘Under African Skies’ documentary,… I know it's also the past but a more recent one.
Jeez, it’s 2012. Who cares about these two guys anymore?
Sorry for being so oooold!!
Have you ever read about the Los Lobos Paul Simon story?, that is a real hoot!
Yes I have heard of it! so did Paul Simon rob everyone?
There is the Graceland documentary tonight on TV, on A&E
Thanks Mike! You’re right, I had forgotten about ‘My Little Town’
They actually recorded together in 1981, but Simon wiped Garfunkel’s vocals off the songs at the last minute and released it as a solo album named “Hearts and Bones”. They also re-united on the 1975 track, “My Little Town”.
