Art Garfunkel says the recent reunion Paul Simon It brought him to tears… ’cause Paul talked about how bad Art’s past words hurt him and Art realized he really messed up.
The singer-songwriter sat down for an interview The Times newspaper … says the two estranged former friends dined together for the first time in years.
Garfunkel says he asked his longtime songwriting partner why they hadn’t seen each other in a while, and Paul told him that comments he had made in an earlier interview really got him down. It is unclear which comments he is referring to.
At that point, Art says, he started bawling like a baby…realizing that he wanted to shake off his former Simon and Garfunkel nice guy image, though now he realized it was “silly” for him to try.
This wasn’t a one-off meeting, either… Art says the two plan to hang out again, adding that you never know if Paul will bring his guitar.
In case you don’t know… Simon and Garfunkel have worked together since the 1960s, and their 50+ year relationship has been fruitful. 1970’s Bridge Over Troubled Water was their last album together, but they performed together several times.
A musical reunion seems entirely possible…or at least the two folk singers are mending their personal relationship.
