Only time I have ever seen Art stare at Paul so much. Well I don't know about hate, they did go on a tour after this, I thought too that he hadn't learned the words to the

song that well so he watches what Paul is singing, Paul had at least 5 songs that

were intended for the both of them and this was the first time they sang them together. I don't think that tour ended too well.

it was in central park, 19. Sept. 1981, with more than 500'000 people!!! and all for free...

Epic fro. He still wears it. That takes a real man.

I thought Art seemed awkward up there...maybe thats just him.

Betcha all didnt know...that Art Garfunkel is a school teacher. Shortly after their tour when they broke up, Art went to teach school in the Forman School in my hometown of Litchfield, CT!! He might still be teaching, i dont know. Havent been back there in years. Who would have known?

[OMGDeBest]

These Guys were Awesome... Paul's brilliant, Art has the amazing voice.l

[Aerohog1]

WOW, they do sound a little out of sync.

It is about pot! And its a shame that its used in that rubbish j-lo movie. Tenebaums is brilliant!!

well, I think the song can mean different thing to different people (even the author himself). Anyway here's what Simon answered in an interview about the song:

In a July 20, 1972 interview for Rolling Stone, Jon Landau asked: "What is it that the mama saw? The whole world wants to know."

Simon replied "I have no idea what it is...

"Something sexual is what I imagine, but when I say 'something', I never bothered to figure out what it was."

I have a CD that was recorded from the Live Central Park concert album in the 70's, right before this song, Art talks about the guys selling loose joints to the concert goer's, so I always inferred that this song was about pot. heh

[rabbidfrog91]

I thought it was about smoking joints...

Even Paul Simon doesn't know what this song's about, and that is exactly what makes it awesome. Stop placing arbitrary meanings onto a song that genuinely doesn't need it. It's a fantastic piece of music by its own merit and for its own sake.
