But Art was in this movie:

Which has amazing Go-Go performances from Trouble Funk and Chuck Brown.

Makes up for a myriad of sins.

I am NOT watching that video tyler, until I am home and have a box of kleenex at my disposal

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:24 (twelve years ago) link

Garfunkel's peak postbreak moment is his performance in Nic Roeg's Bad Timing, no contest

Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:25 (twelve years ago) link

That 'Breakaway' cover...like, does anyone HONESTLY believe that Garfunkel has any game at all, let alone enough to pull that off convincingly?

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:26 (twelve years ago) link

have you seen Carnal Knowledge

no

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:28 (twelve years ago) link

I dunno if I'd recommend it (haven't seen it since I was a teenager and it was rather inexplicably on TV), but it's pretty much all about Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel fighting over women

(primarily Sybil Sheppard and Ann Margaret, iirc)

I can't take Garfunkel's hair seriously, is my problem I think

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:49 (twelve years ago) link

tsk tsk Shakey, Candice Bergen

also Garfunkel disappears for a good chunk of the film

Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

ah right. sorry

garfunkel rocks a sweet 'stache at the end, iirc. the guy has crazy game are you kidding me?

THIS IS A PAUL SIMON POLL YOU CRAZY STAN

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link

I want to push him in the water

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

and I don't even hate him, why does Garfunkel bring up these terrible feelings in me

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

lol sorry, i'll save it for my blog http://artgarfunkelisneat.wordpress.com

tylerw, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

he sings like a museum iirc

horseshoe, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:01 (twelve years ago) link

lol

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:01 (twelve years ago) link

I wouldn't hate on Watermark too hard -- it's all Jimmy Webb songs.

I'm not even sure if my poll made it in on time, but when I first saw this, I just assumed it was a Paul Simon solo poll and figured I didn't know enough beyond the hits, Graceland and TRotS, both of which my parents had on cassette (interesting how many people seem to have gotten into this through their parents). And for S&G, all I really know is the hits + the BoTW album, which I taped off a friend when I was 14.

At any rate, as a result, my ballot is this odd combination of hits and a handful of obscure album tracks that only obsessives of the records themselves would know.

Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:01 (twelve years ago) link

I just want Garfunkel to not be looking at me with his weird hair all the time, imo

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link

Ach, everyone's ballot always looks like that unless they're trying to be too clever xp

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link

oh yeah i didn't vote in this poll because all i know is graceland and rhythm of the saints, but they're two of my favorite records ever ever

Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link

and the thing is i feel like i would've put "graceland" at no. 1, which no one needs

can't deny songs that unfailingly start me crying

Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:11 (twelve years ago) link

nothing wrong with "graceland" at no.1 imo; what a great song! paul simon is a wizard and making people cry afaic.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:11 (twelve years ago) link

horseshoe, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:13 (twelve years ago) link

some dude, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link

listening to "love is eternal sacred light" off of so beautiful or so what; kind of thinking i should have voted for this but it would have been mathematically impossible

xp the tears multiply and drown everyone in the room

horseshoe, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago) link

Is he < 5'2"?

Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link

When S&G were on the road Art Garfunkel carried Paul Simon in a teacup iirc

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
