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.
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything
For seventy years his arm has been around my shoulder
He’s dazzled me with gifts-
I nurtured him in his youth-
He brought me into prominence-
I taught him to sing-
He connected my voice to the world-
I made him tall-
All of our personal belongings are intertwined
(from the Paul Simon TV special, 1977)
Are you normal or do you constantly think about how these photos were taken candidly while they were walking through an airport together?
paul simon always saying some rude shit in interviews like we actually do hate each other and we never got along and the music we made together was shitty and lame and i did all the work. and everything art says is like we love eachother so much forever and no one cares enough to understand our beautiful romance they just want to spread rumors and we never really broke up we were just apart and no one understands and Yes im a gay man
oh my god it’s april happy april come she will april
Ok this and the fact that Paul looks at Art and then at the camera when he sings “we might as well be apart” in overs.
What’s happening now in Palestine is unacceptable, but do not despair! That’s what they want! That’s why they cut off communications in Gaza! They want people to give up, they want people to believe wholeheartedly that nothing can be done so that they can continue with impunity and write history as they wish, to paint themselves as victors of a war that was never a war to begin with! Keep sharing and raising their voices, share the stories of the people, keep the story of Palestine alive! They hide behind their bombs and their chemical warfare and their western propaganda but they cannot silence the masses! They can only wish they had an ounce of the bravery the Palestinian people have, standing their ground against such an overwhelming force! May Palestine be free, from the river to the sea. May the eyes of cowards never sleep!
