“Simon & Garfunkel had a peculiar type of groupie. We had the poetic groupies. The girls that followed us around weren’t necessarily looking to sleep with us as much as they were looking to read us their poetry or discuss literature or play their own songs …. I wound up going back to the room and smoking a joint and going to sleep by myself. Most of the time, sometimes not.”
— Paul Simon, quoted by Jon Landau in a Rolling Stone interview (July 20th, 1972)
