Btw Imagine Being At Paul Simon's 70th Birthday Party And His Old Buddy Is Gonna Read A Poem And U Think

[x]

[a series of images from an interview with Tove Jansson, who sketches the character Snufkin as she speaks. the captions show the English subtitles: “He’s… a bit soft and sloppy, and he’s looking for new paths to walk. He actually likes landscapes more than people, which of course means that he’s not always very nice to his friends, but they forgive him. It’s quite easy to forgive a Snufkin. Yes, I like him.]

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.

Classic Artie-ness

He’s so obsessed…

Mars Argo wallpaper :) (I did not take these photos neither do I won them I just put them together)

I have to tell you how deeply this image haunts me. I feel like I have a personal relationship with this image. I keep it readily available in my files so that I can occasionally look at it and see it and remember that I didn’t make it up. There is such a complex lore attached to this image which I will freely admit to having made up entirely in my head. but I wholeheartedly believe it to be true, and on the basis of this belief my perception of the world and of Simon and Garfunkel as a duo has been fundamentally and irrevocably changed. Paul Simon was actively crossdressing in the late 50s/early 60s and Paul and Art would go out to clubs as a straight couple. This is not true. But look at that image and tell me that it’s not true. That’s Paul Simon in there.

?!?!?!?!?!!!???!???

Ok so is this what Art meant when he said:

‘But then we'll be on stage and the three of us make this sound - me, him and the guitar, and we're eleven once more, and in love all over again.’

It's so easy to forget they were angry at each other sometimes, when they're looking at each other like that.

The Concert in Central Park, 19 September 1981

Holy crap he is always contradicting himself lmao. He said THIS in 1983 🙄

I highly recommend that if you haven’t already please read this article. It’s amazing and a goldmine truly. Special thanks to @boysnberryfan for sharing it with me.

[About Art] Is it fair to characterize your relationship of thirty years as complicated as most marriages? (x)
