“Simon & Garfunkel had a peculiar type of groupie. We had the poetic groupies. The girls that followed us around weren’t necessarily looking to sleep with us as much as they were looking to read us their poetry or discuss literature or play their own songs …. I wound up going back to the room and smoking a joint and going to sleep by myself. Most of the time, sometimes not.”
— Paul Simon, quoted by Jon Landau in a Rolling Stone interview (July 20th, 1972)

the fact that the girls that never write are uhh. Artie. man has been lying through his teeth for sixty years.
Art: I remember that period as an inevitable splitting up of the two of us that was an expression of what felt right at the time.
Paul: It’s strange to be partners, you know, especially you get to be forty - in your forties, you know - and you’re partners, you know. ‘Well, Paul, you think that? Well how does Artie feel about it?’ I mean, like, well, what difference does it make?
