art garfunkel Here’s what he says about his recent reunion: paul simon He cries…because Paul reveals how much Art’s past words have hurt him–and Art realizes that he really was no good.
The singer-songwriter agreed to an interview. times Newspapers reported that the two estranged former friends had lunch together for the first time in years.
Garfunkel reportedly asked his longtime songwriting partner why he hadn’t seen him in a while. And Paul said that a comment he made in an interview at the time really got to the point. It is unclear which comment he is referring to.
At that point, he started crying like a baby, Art says. He realized that he wanted to overturn Simon and Garfunkel’s nice-guy image at the time, but now realizes he would have been a “fool” to do so.
This wasn’t a one-off meeting either…Art says they plan to hang out together again, but adds that he doesn’t know if Paul will bring his guitar.
For those who don’t know… Simon and Garfunkel have worked together on and off since the 1960s, but their relationship over more than 50 years has been turbulent. The 1970 record Bridge Over Troubled Water was their last album, but they have collaborated many times since then.
It sounds like a musical reunion is entirely possible…or at least the two folk singers have repaired their personal relationship.
