“Before there was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, there was Simon and Garfunkel — an extraordinary, a singular love affair. There is no gay component in the two of us that I am aware of, but the way these two lives wrapped around each other is poetically stunning. From age eleven to today, a span of sixty-four years, Art and Paul have been at work to entertain, win the respect of, and dazzle one another. It worked so well that the whole world pulled up chairs to watch and listen.”
— Art Garfunkel, What is it All But Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man
i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know i will see the day palestine is free and i will see her shake the dust of occupation from her heels. i know the old people and children of her history will return to their ancestral homes, their houses, their valleys, their olive groves, not to to set their roots down again because their roots have always been there, will always be there, but to grow again, bear fruit for harvest, and never be cut down again. i know palestine will be free. i grieve for palestine and dream of palestinian joy.
Happy 54th birthday to the album that permanently altered my brain chemistry.
paul simon always saying some rude shit in interviews like we actually do hate each other and we never got along and the music we made together was shitty and lame and i did all the work. and everything art says is like we love eachother so much forever and no one cares enough to understand our beautiful romance they just want to spread rumors and we never really broke up we were just apart and no one understands and Yes im a gay man
So LGBTQ+ is now completely illegal in Russia. I wonder if anyone going to talk about that. I'm so tired
We're getting unseen footage from Songs of America, The Concert in Central Park, and much more and I'm so normal about it.
The Paul Simon Song Book, 1965, with a short story by Paul Simon
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Stranger to stranger
If we met for the first time, this time
Could you imagine us
Falling in love again?
Still believing that love endures
All the carnage and useless detours
Oh I love you, I love you, I love you…
