I’m not going into it now, for God’s sake, I already suffered though that once (it’s totally convoluted), but if I ever finish and publish that novel, my obsessive observations will see the light of day and be ignored by billions. A funny thing is that I was writing something recently (OK, a novel) in which I talk about the song “Cecilia” and how I was always confused and disturbed by something in the lyrics. I barely remembered that “The Only Living Boy in New York” was on the other side (I think), but I like that song as well-it’s my favorite number on this album. Robinson” in the Sixties, and I also had a 45 of “Cecilia”-from this record, which I loved and played to death.

I never get tired of either that movie or those songs. So, I actually am a huge fan of Simon & Garfunkel, to some degree, as I love the songs that are in “The Graduate” (which could be a rare case of a movie and the songs featured in it being nearly of equal importance to each other-i.e., neither one would be quite what it is without the other). They’ve been mortal enemies for years, but hook up again, over some kind of crisis where they actually help each other, somehow. Someone could make a great movie-maybe even starring them, at 80-about a Sixties folk duo-a tall guy who got all the women and a short guy who got all the royalties, and now lives in a palatial LA mansion while the other guy is homeless and single. I also didn’t realize that Paul Simon has all the songwriting credits, and they are both almost the same age (80 this year). I guess I also never knew that the really annoying “I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail” song is called “El Condor Pasa”-which is one they stole and turned into an earworm. I feel like I was aware of “The Boxer,” by name, forever, and only now put it together with that really annoying “Lie-la-lie” song, which I’ve always hated-okay, so one more mystery solved. The very famous and overplayed title song is way overblown and doesn’t measure up to that great, earlier “Sound of Silence” stuff. I’ve never listened to it in its entirety before now.
In a way, it doesn’t surprise me that they broke up after this record because it’s really kind of bad. I really do hate that thing with a passion-maybe even more so because they could have done it as a fake ventriloquist act, which would have been brilliant, but they totally missed the boat.

Paul Simon and Chevy Chase, however, are a full foot apart, which they play up in the video, “You Can Call Me Al”-which has the distinction of being my least favorite music video EVER. But they are actually pretty close in height, if you don’t count Garfunkel’s perm, in which case there is a big difference.
The album cover plays up their height disparity, which I also always thought was manufactured-and the internet (great for celebrity height stats!) tells us neither of them played for the Knicks. And/or also a cocktail consisting of scotch, branch water, and squid ink. It says they were called “Tom & Jerry”-but we all know Tom & Jerry is a cartoon with a cat and, I think, a raccoon.
I was almost too young for them-I didn’t realize they played together even in the Fifties-if the first paragraph of their Wikipedia is accurate (and it might not be). I feel like I know more about each of them from their movie appearances, especially Art Garfunkel’s really interesting film roles. It’s interesting looking some stuff up now… I guess I thought of them as a Seventies band, yet this record from 1970 was their last (not counting like a hundred compilations and boxsets, etc., you know, cashing in). I guess I was never a huge fan of Simon & Garfunkel, really, and I don’t know that much about them, considering their popularity and fame.
