Paul Simon, Edie Brickell charged with domestic violence
NC Advertiser ^ | Apr 28, 2014 | Joshua Fisher

Paul Simon and wife Edie Brickell were both arrested and charged with disorderly conduct on Saturday night, April 26, after an apparent domestic dispute, according to New Canaan Police.

A call to police about the incident at the couple’s New Canaan house was made about 8 p.m. Saturday night, police said. But details over what were not immediately released. New Canaan Police hold a weekly press briefing with local media late each Monday morning.

Simon and Brickell, who have been married for more than 20 years, have lived in New Canaan with their three children for years. New Canaan Police did not want to release their address. Neither of their names are listed in the town tax records; but their house is in the northern section of town.

They both were scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Monday morning at 10 a.m.

The arrest report documents that they were shouting “Betty!” and “Al!” at each other when police arrived.

Brickell, 48, was the lead singer of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, a late-1980s folk-rock band. Their debut single, “What I Am” was ranked among VH1′s “100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders.”

It wasn't even Edie's band. Label wanted the name change to highlight her.

Edie has been working with Steve Martin lately.

Is it too early to start those rumors?

The argument was whether “What I am” originated with her or with Popeye.

And though he’s not overly vocal about his views, he isn’t completely out of the game either. He’s a lifelong Democrat, supporting such Democrats through history as Michael Dukakis and Hillary Clinton and, over the years, giving over $49,000 to Democrats and Democrat support organizations.9

He’s been fairly vocal about universal health care, particularly when it comes to health care for children. Simon even appeared and spoke at a press conference alongside some of the country’s highest-ranking Democrats in favor of state-sponsored health care for kids.10

Too bad they couldn’t work in the word “singer” or something, so that we would know who or what they were talking about.

Sometimes the media seems to think that we are all just like their social circle, and already share their personal interests.
