Simon and Garfunkel Saturday, September 27, 3003 Listen Hello Simon my old friendGK: Don't look at me when you sing. PD: Why not? GK: Just don't. PD: Since when do you tell me where to look? GK: Don't look at me. PD: Don't be so petty. GK: It's petty to you, it isn't to me. Okay? Look at the audience. Don't look at me, okay? PD: Why? GK: I don't like it. Okay? PD: I'll look wherever I want. GK: Look wherever you want, just don't look at me. Hello Simon my old friendGK: How about I sing some of my songs too? PD: What songs are those? GK: My songs. You're not the only one who writes songs---- PD: If we sang your songs, we wouldn't need to be playing hockey arenas. We could do it in people's living rooms. GK: Very funny. PD: Give the people what they want to hear. GK: Right. Your songs with me singing that stupid falsetto. PD: You sing stupid falsetto really well. GK: I'm tired of it. PD: It's only until the end of December. GK: I have a normal voice, you know. Why don't you try singing the girl part sometime? I'm sitting in the limousineGK: I'm taller than you. That's what bothers you, isn't it. You're four feet tall, you've been overcompensating all your life. PD: Four-feet-eight. GK: Sure. In your special shoes. Barefoot you're four feet tall. That really hurt in high school, didn't it. Girls looked around and glanced down and said, Oh hi, Paul. Can I help you find something? PD: They didn't either. GK: They always thought you were somebody's little brother. You waited for your growth years and they never came. You stayed a midget. I'll bet you've been through a lot of therapy over that, haven't you. Still working it out, probably. And you know what the problem is. A little guy like you, he isn't getting the **. Are you. Not getting the **. Women know. Women can tell. That's why they go for the taller guy. They know he's got the **. PD: Why don't you grow up? GK: I did. PD: Sure. Grew up and became a guy with a bad perm who can sing falsetto. . GK: At least I've got hair to perm. PD: What's that supposed to mean? GK: It means I stand here looking down on your bald spot which is the size of Vermont. Why don't you invest in a weave? PD: I'm not bald! I've got a wide part, is all. Anyway, I'm the star of this act. Don't forget it. Who wrote "Sounds of Silence"? Huh/ Who wrote "Bridge Over Troubled Water"? Not you. People don't even download your songs on the Internet. They don't even bother to steal your stuff. I could do a solo concert and fill those arenas. You're playing coffeehouses. In restless dreams I walked aloneGK: That is such a stupid line, "neath the halo of a street lamp." You're missing a syllable…..ever notice that? PD: I'm not listening to you. GK: It should be "Beneath the halo of a neon lamp" ---- you need two syllables….. you hear what I'm saying? PD: I don't even hear you anymore. GK: I try to help you with your music, and you turn me away. PD: Just shut up. And here's to you, Joe Dimaggio, | | | | |
