Every Time I See A New Photo Of My Favourite Old Man I Say Yippe And Jump Ten Foot In The Air

Stewy do you have any more information on Joan Baez's sapphic affairs that you can share please

“In 1972 I was talking with a young reporter from a Berkeley paper. He asked me if I was heterosexual. I said simply that if the affair I’d had ten years ago counted, then I was bisexual. I didn’t realize what a catch he had when he left my house and tore back up the coast to print his story.

The next morning, Gail, a good friend who had helped me at Gabe’s birth and was staying with me at the time, helping with Gabe after David and I had split up, poked her head into the bedroom and said, “There’s a guy here from the press. Did you tell someone you were a lesbian?”

I sighed and got dressed. Just my luck to have a woman greet them at the door in her nightgown.

What I said to them then, and what I would say now if asked the same questions, is the following:

I had an affair with a girl when I was twenty-two. It was wonderful. It happened, I assume, after an overdose of unhappiness at the end of an affair with a man, when I had a need for softness and understanding. I assume that the homosexuality within me, which people love to say is in all of us, made itself felt at that time, and saved me from becoming cold and bitter toward everyone. I slowly mended, and since the affair with Kimmie have not had another affair with a woman nor the conscious desire to.”

PS: A Voice To Sing With was published in 1987. Empathy towards the LGBT community was little to none among the general public. I’m not sure if Joan’s answers would’ve been different today; probably, but maybe not since she gave a similar answer in 1979 while participating in a Pride event. Either way, it’s extremely brave of her to not erase Kim and their affair from her life at the time this was published, and to speak about it with such love and care.

Simon and Garfunkel scrapped shots, 60s

Thanks for sharing this @frederic-simon-and-ira-garfunkel. One of my favourite interviews because it’s so interesting to see Art’s perspective of things post breakup. This has to be one of my favourite parts - I few like it explains a lot about why Art’s attitude in interviews seems so odd sometimes.

from art garfunkel interview in 1998 posted on his website…….. what do we think this means gang 🙃

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.

if they made a gay movie about simon and garfunkel maybe then you guys would care
