Lost Gen X bedroom in the attic of an abandoned house.
Simon and Garfunkel scrapped shots, 60s
Went for an eye test today and they found a small image of American singer-songwriter Paul Simon burned permanently into my retinas in the same way images get permanently burned into old TV's when you have the one thing on screen for too long.
My honest reaction to this
“I think my dad and Paul will always be best friends. There is a lot of love. They are in touch. Things are going in a good direction..”
Whilst a reunion/tour seems like wishful thinking at this point (though what do I know..), the “they are in touch” part is very lovely, long overdue news!

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?
SO much is happening here:
Mystery man Stan Rublowsky, who is never mentioned again
Art getting cornered by the press while changing and then being stuck with them for half of the article
Paul once again mentioning that one time he tried LSD (but leaving out the part where he started hallucinating bugs in the shower)
“Normal looking, except for their hair”
“Rublowsky mentioned that he doubted that Simon owns a suit”
“Carrying the 12-string that he never plays”
“Garfunkel swung his hands around him like an airplane”
