I can’t visualize either of them (and I checked out their photo at the link) plus I can’t name or remember any of their songs, except that I didn’t like any of them.

One thing is pretty clear: Garfunkle doesn't like Paul Simon very much.

I heard them long ago live. He had an amazing voice.

I preferred Ektachrome, but I took a lot of Kodachrome as well—with an Agfa camera. I now have two Nikons—a D200 DSLR and a Coolpix L4 point-and-shoot.

You don't remember or like "Bridge Over Troubled Water"?

Beautiful song.

“Now it looks like there may not be any film cameras or films before long.”

I’ve got a couple of cameras and a few rolls of film in my closet that I haven’t looked at in years. They’ll be on the future version of “Antiques Roadshow” I hope.

I guess short people are popular song writers.

The radio stations used to block out the word "crap:"

KWIZ, at 1480 kcs out of Santa Ana, Calif. spliced out that word when they played "Kodachrome."

Back around 1970, my girlfriend’s favorite song was “Bridge Over Troubled Waters”. Looking back I don’t really know why I dated her. She was sort of cute tho.

One of the Mississippi State football players later told me she was president of Chi Omega there. Don’t know if he was right or not tho.

My favorite Simon & Garfunkle opus is Hey, School Girl (1957), which they recorded under the name Tom & Jerry.

I’ll still love “Obvious Child” regardless of Simon’s issues.

Garfunkel recently performed in our local theatre, and my son was in the audio crew.

My son called him a number of names, most of which were related to body parts and none of which indicated any fondness of any sort for the man. While on stage, he gave a very humble self deprecating show.... especially while explaining the loss of his voice. Much of the show was speaking.... telling stories of his life.

Off stage he was incredibly difficult to work with..... one of the worst he has encountered.

“He admits he felt sorry for the singer/songwriter because he was so short, and adds, “That compensation gesture has created a monster.”

Lotta’ latent anger here. Art’s only kidding himself.
