Garfunkel On Simon: ‘I Created A Monster’

But Art Garfunkel doesn’t rule out another reunion when speaking to Nigel Farndale of The Telegraph.

I say there is one more question I have to ask, and he will have guessed what it is. “Will I do another tour with Paul? Well, that’s quite do-able. As far as this half is concerned, why not? But I’ve been in that same place for decades. This is where I was in 1971.” He then seems to address not me but his old friend. “How can you walk away from this lucky place on top of the world, Paul? What’s going on with you, you idiot? How could you let that go, jerk?”

…Actually, another question strikes me. I speculate about whether Paul Simon might have a Napoleon complex. Is there a height thing there, between them? “I think you’re on to something. I would say so, yes.” He adds that at school he felt sorry for Paul because of his height, and he offered him love and friendship as a compensation. “And that compensation gesture has created a monster. End of interview.”
