Simon And Garfunkel Scrapped Shots, 60s

the world is directing so much intolerable cruelty and unfairness towards the palestinian people to placate the israeli ego and soothe colonial anxieties, as though they haven't already been trying to rewrite history for 75 years. what makes them think it will work this time? don't they understand that history written in blood is even harder to erase than history written in press releases? do they plan to move on from 13,000 murdered children to a stronger and more secure israel? or are they too stupid to see they're ushering in a fragile and unstable world order of right-wing demagogues with overpowered militaries? that'll work out.

Simon & Garfunkel - Think Too Much

Linda Eastman     Simon and Garfunkel, New York City     1966

“I write from instinct, from inexplicable sparkle. I don’t know why I’m writing what I’m writing. Usually, I sit and I let my hands wander on my guitar. And I sing anything. I play anything. And I wait till I come across a pleasing accident. Then I start to develop it.” Paul Simon, 1984

“[T]he loving, caressing guitar work that Paul Simon does on a Martin acoustic guitar, just kills me and makes me sing lovely. I ride that guitar like a jockey on a horse that is having a fabulous little spring.” Art Garfunkel

SERVING CUNT

I'm losing my mind

from river to the sea

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.

here's hoping people never stop asking

What’s happening now in Palestine is unacceptable, but do not despair! That’s what they want! That’s why they cut off communications in Gaza! They want people to give up, they want people to believe wholeheartedly that nothing can be done so that they can continue with impunity and write history as they wish, to paint themselves as victors of a war that was never a war to begin with! Keep sharing and raising their voices, share the stories of the people, keep the story of Palestine alive! They hide behind their bombs and their chemical warfare and their western propaganda but they cannot silence the masses! They can only wish they had an ounce of the bravery the Palestinian people have, standing their ground against such an overwhelming force! May Palestine be free, from the river to the sea. May the eyes of cowards never sleep!

Art and Paul in Holland, 1966
