Art Garfunkel said a recent meeting with Paul Simon made him cry… because Paul explained how much Art’s past words had hurt him – and Art realized he had really ruined everything.
The singer-songwriter sat down for an interview with The times newspaper… saying the two estranged former pals had lunch together for the first time in years.
Garfunkel says he asked his longtime songwriting partner why they hadn’t met in a while — and Paul told him that comments he made in an interview at the time had him really touched. It is unclear which comments he is referring to.
At that point, Art says, he started bawling like a baby… realizing he wanted to shake up Simon & Garfunkel’s nice guy image of the time – although he now realized he was “idiot” for trying.
It wasn’t a one-off meeting either… Art says the two plan to meet again – adding that you never know if Paul will bring his guitar or not.
If you don’t know… Simon and Garfunkel have worked together on and off since the 1960s – and their 50-plus year relationship has been strained. The 1970 record “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was their last album together, but they have performed several times since.
Looks like a musical reunion is entirely possible…or, at least, the two folk singers are reestablishing their personal relationship.
