He is great, too bad he broke up with Garfunkel, to my opinion. Sometimes it seems that our course is not the one we imagine, but still we have to chase the dream. He had to get out of this thing with Garfunkel, (i am sure that you know that it is pure luck that Paul Simon made it. While on tour in England a famous producer added drums and bass and an electric guitar to his acoustic composition "Sounds of silence" and he turned it into a hit. The producer's name is Bob Johnston-if this name rings a bell, he produced all Dylan's albums from mid 60ies to early 70ies-. I don't know if Paul Simon was a purist, back then, but he surely was in need of cash and he just kept on going on the same path -good thing that he didn't manage to sell his rights in England when he desperately needed money-) and he only got his artistic freedom after the giga selling album "Bridge over troubled water". Columbia let him do whatever he wanted, but truth told, he never reached as high as he did with Garfunkel. But it was his dream to follow and drams are always stronger than the obvious talent.
Art Garfunkel gives a little theatrical explanation on his CD where he also sings "Why worry", but i guess that is the fate of the gifted, always having trouble with their past. Or maybe it is us , fans who read about them and we think we have everything figured out.
