Ep 29: SIMON & garfunkel

Hello podcast listeners, our old friends, it’s time for CFX again! This week we take on that dynamic duo, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. We know what you’re thinking… How boring! Well, nothing could be further from the truth. We take you through the ups and downs of what has been a sometimes tense and rancorous musical marriage in a way that has seldom been done before. We decide if this music stands the test of time like a “fortress deep and mighty” or is it just a “pocketful of mumbles”. Along the way we learn… Why Art Garfunkel should be named Art Grudge-funkel How Paul Simon liked to watch girls sleep when he wasn’t busy robbing liquor stores Why Art should have donned a cape and joined a progressive rock band Why that Nicaraguan lobster dinner may not leave you “feelin’ groovy” How pettiness and jealousy were basically 3rd and 4th members of the band Why a line about toast is one of Beavis and Butthead’s favorite lyrics How Paul Simon *should* have reunited with Garfunkel Check us out on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/culturalfutures/) for links and additional content related to this and other episodes as well as clues to upcoming shows or write to us at [email protected] All audio clips are used under the "Fair Use" Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act in 1976; Allowance is made for "Fair Use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
