Stewy do you have any more information on Joan Baez's sapphic affairs that you can share please

“In 1972 I was talking with a young reporter from a Berkeley paper. He asked me if I was heterosexual. I said simply that if the affair I’d had ten years ago counted, then I was bisexual. I didn’t realize what a catch he had when he left my house and tore back up the coast to print his story.

The next morning, Gail, a good friend who had helped me at Gabe’s birth and was staying with me at the time, helping with Gabe after David and I had split up, poked her head into the bedroom and said, “There’s a guy here from the press. Did you tell someone you were a lesbian?”

I sighed and got dressed. Just my luck to have a woman greet them at the door in her nightgown.

What I said to them then, and what I would say now if asked the same questions, is the following:

I had an affair with a girl when I was twenty-two. It was wonderful. It happened, I assume, after an overdose of unhappiness at the end of an affair with a man, when I had a need for softness and understanding. I assume that the homosexuality within me, which people love to say is in all of us, made itself felt at that time, and saved me from becoming cold and bitter toward everyone. I slowly mended, and since the affair with Kimmie have not had another affair with a woman nor the conscious desire to.”

PS: A Voice To Sing With was published in 1987. Empathy towards the LGBT community was little to none among the general public. I’m not sure if Joan’s answers would’ve been different today; probably, but maybe not since she gave a similar answer in 1979 while participating in a Pride event. Either way, it’s extremely brave of her to not erase Kim and their affair from her life at the time this was published, and to speak about it with such love and care.

Went for an eye test today and they found a small image of American singer-songwriter Paul Simon burned permanently into my retinas in the same way images get permanently burned into old TV's when you have the one thing on screen for too long.

can’t believe that John Lennon recorded a demo in his home almost half a century ago and the little cassette tape was saved and then cherished for years and years and years and then eventually people figured out a way to make it into a real song and now I get to listen to that song while I sit at my desk at work.

I found a movie with Artie and I do have questions about the hairstyle….

What’s happening now in Palestine is unacceptable, but do not despair! That’s what they want! That’s why they cut off communications in Gaza! They want people to give up, they want people to believe wholeheartedly that nothing can be done so that they can continue with impunity and write history as they wish, to paint themselves as victors of a war that was never a war to begin with! Keep sharing and raising their voices, share the stories of the people, keep the story of Palestine alive! They hide behind their bombs and their chemical warfare and their western propaganda but they cannot silence the masses! They can only wish they had an ounce of the bravery the Palestinian people have, standing their ground against such an overwhelming force! May Palestine be free, from the river to the sea. May the eyes of cowards never sleep!

it was never about hamas. not for a single second was any bit of this latest chapter of israels genocide over palestinians about hamas. never let anyone convince you of that. internet was cut off for everyone in gaza. we might only find out the horror of whats happening there right now once its way too late to prevent this already incomprehensible terror from growing into something none of us will ever get to walk away from while we're alive.

paul simon always saying some rude shit in interviews like we actually do hate each other and we never got along and the music we made together was shitty and lame and i did all the work. and everything art says is like we love eachother so much forever and no one cares enough to understand our beautiful romance they just want to spread rumors and we never really broke up we were just apart and no one understands and Yes im a gay man

Q&A with Art Garfunkel 2011

So today I learned that there is a Professor Layton anime.

In the Professor Layton anime, these characters exist.

Their names are Simon and Garfunkel.

They are brothers.

Do with this information what you will.

“They were getting ready to sing I believe Slip Slidin’ Away, and someone in the stands yelled out ‘I LOVE YOU PAUL SIMON!’ He sorta looked in the general direction and said ‘That’s nice, but how d’you think that makes Artie feel?’ And in the quietest little voice that just like, oozed affection, Art replied ‘It’s alright. I love you, too.’”

that’s exactly what is going on here

paul simon

Are you open to the idea of being S&G mutuals? :]

Yes, reveal yourself mwhahahahah

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

“They were getting ready to sing I believe Slip Slidin’ Away, and someone in the stands yelled out ‘I LOVE YOU PAUL SIMON!’ He sorta looked in the general direction and said ‘That’s nice, but how d’you think that makes Artie feel?’ And in the quietest little voice that just like, oozed affection, Art replied ‘It’s alright. I love you, too.’”

Does anyone have any ideas? I need to ask him something fr

he always holds his cig so gayly. be honest

“You could call it love. Paul Simon was my only buddy, I was his only buddy. We could be outcasts, but we had each other.”

— Art Garfunkel 

“He bugs me. He’s a wise-ass. But he’s also very funny - and laughs are a great tonic in life - and he’s my favorite musician. I’ve had shows where backstage I’ve hated him. And vice versa. But then we’ll be on stage and the three of us make this sound - me, him and the guitar, and we’re eleven once more, and in love all over again.”

— Art Garfunkel

“We didn’t talk to each other from the ages of 17 to 21… We were best friends. The love affair stopped with a bruise. People fall out. What else is new? I got over it because Paul was so damn good. I ran into him in Queens and he was so funny and smart that I dropped my old barrier, and when we started working together again we knew we were onto something. Paul started bringing the songs to me at Columbia College, where I was studying architecture. I was the midwife, pulling out and cherishing the babies as Paul kept giving birth.”

— Art Garfunkel 

Ok just say that ig
