I have to tell you how deeply this image haunts me. I feel like I have a personal relationship with this image. I keep it readily available in my files so that I can occasionally look at it and see it and remember that I didn’t make it up. There is such a complex lore attached to this image which I will freely admit to having made up entirely in my head. but I wholeheartedly believe it to be true, and on the basis of this belief my perception of the world and of Simon and Garfunkel as a duo has been fundamentally and irrevocably changed. Paul Simon was actively crossdressing in the late 50s/early 60s and Paul and Art would go out to clubs as a straight couple. This is not true. But look at that image and tell me that it’s not true. That’s Paul Simon in there.

“Before there was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, there was Simon and Garfunkel — an extraordinary, a singular love affair. There is no gay component in the two of us that I am aware of, but the way these two lives wrapped around each other is poetically stunning. From age eleven to today, a span of sixty-four years, Art and Paul have been at work to entertain, win the respect of, and dazzle one another. It worked so well that the whole world pulled up chairs to watch and listen.”

— Art Garfunkel, What is it All But Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man

The consistent dehumanization language used in describing Palestinians in western media is unfathomable. The consistent denial of seeing our children as children. For everybody seeing this, don't fall into this, seek out the truth and educate yourself because that's the best and only way we can help people in Palestine. We have to amplify their voices.

Happy 54th birthday to the album that permanently altered my brain chemistry.
