“I actually had lunch with Paul a couple of weeks back.
First time wed been together in many years, Garfunkel reveaaled during a conversation with theSunday Times.
I looked at Paul and said, What happened?

Why havent we seen each other?
Paul mentioned an old interview where I said some stuff.
I cried when he told me how much I had hurt him.

I was a fool!
It felt like we were back in a wonderful place.
As I think about it now, tears are rolling down my cheeks.
I can still feel his hug.
Since parting ways, Simon and Garfunkel have often commented on their fraught partnership and complicated friendship.

They would indeed come together several more times in the years that followed.
“How can you walk away from this lucky place on top of the world, Paul?
he said at the time.
Whats going on with you, you idiot?
How could you let that go, jerk?
In the same conversation, he said that his friendship with Simon has created a monster.”
But now, things are looking up.
He called me and said, Pauls my brother; hes family, Art Jr. told the Times.
I do think there is a possibility of them getting together musically.
Im speaking hypothetically here, but maybe a big TV/charity event.
A new generation discovering the beautiful music they make together.
