I *know* that they hate each other, but face it, Art had the pipes.
Sure Simon had a great career after S&G, and maybe he hated the fact that he was the songwriter, but the truth is, they needed each other to reach such great heights.
IDK why Paul doesn't realize that.
Without Art, he wouldn't have had the "opportunity" to make the great music that came later.
Without Art no one ever would have heard of Paul Simon (and vice versa). They needed each other, they had complementary talents.
I just said the same thing to my husband. I think it's sad they broke up. I never liked the music of either one as much.
