can’t believe that John Lennon recorded a demo in his home almost half a century ago and the little cassette tape was saved and then cherished for years and years and years and then eventually people figured out a way to make it into a real song and now I get to listen to that song while I sit at my desk at work.

i gotta talk….. something so crazy about paul simon and his relationship with his father and seeing a kid sing a song at a school recital when he was in grade school and deciding to ask him over to play music together and studying his mouth and the shape of it and the way it moves so you can sing just like him and having a fight with him and your father tells your best friend that he doesn’t like him very much. and you go off to school and find him again and remember that he is your oldest friend and you rekindle your friendship and then start on your future together and you sleep in hotel rooms with magic fingers and think what great fun to be so young and writing music and famous! and then he goes off to be an actor and you are so heartbroken you write a best selling album about it and then you break up your world famous act and he can’t understand why you would do it and then you hear his albums and think they’re just not him not even close so you write him a song and he suggests you do it together just like old times. then you rekindle your friendship and give the biggest concert Central Park has ever seen and then you get into such a vicious fight during the subsequent tour that you want to kill each other and then out of the blue you’re back together for a reunion tour decades later and you say you’re done fighting but you never call him back and you only begin to understand the relationship you had with your father when you’re older than you ever thought you’d be and have released what will be your likely last album that’s about dying and religion
he always holds his cig so gayly. be honest
i need people to watch this clip from the new ted series i cant stop laughing
Thanks for rebloging @cwwonder. The reaction I had to just seeing this poem while scrolling on my break at work was one like no other👍
"When I was fourteen I lay down with you
our eyes misty with urge,
our mouths in open moan
The sun was big in those late afternoons
swollen and red-ripe,
it filtered in stripes on wallpaper
and wet linen.
—Do you know what we are? you said"
Art Garfunkel, What Is It All But Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man
Care to discuss this pearl?
Ok just saw your most recent rebog - here is my question. What is your hottest take about S&G?
Ha, my hottest take. Let's see.
While I don't really believe Paul and Art were in love like the I'll love you forever marry me kind of love, I am quite convinced they fucked at some point.
They at least kissed...and it led to more lmao. Perhaps they were high or drunk when it happened and then maybe they each tried to deny it, but I cannot believe that in such a close friendship/partnership/thing they had, nothing of a sexual nature ever happened.
Take Art’s poem about all the tequilas he had with Paul for example. He's trying to convince the audience that it's about the two of them trying not to throw up...meanwhile 'tickle of the tonsils' is also slang for fellatio. 😌 So clever with words, our Artie.
Another hot take: Art, Paul, Penny and Carrie had a foursome.
SERVING CUNT
I'm losing my mind
They/themFor all things that make me smile :-)
