| The only people who lean on his Old back catalogue are his fan´s.
Not for a moment you could think about that these reunion concerts in 2003 have been made because Simon had some problems. That is more than laughable, because the only person who is begging for reunion concerts, new albums, new songs and S&G forever is Mr. Garfunkel. You turn the story as if Simon went to Garfunkel to ask him if he wouldn´t be so nice to do another reunion tour with him because he has a writters block - how could playing these old songs help him in ANY way with the new album - this music is SOOO far away from that that it would only block him more.
And if you think back about 1982,1983 then I have only one sentence for you - anyone remember that Hearts And Bones was a MUCH BIGGER flop than One Trick Pony?? So how again could touring with his old pal be anything positive who brought him new fame? After the S&G 1983 tour he was a Nobody, no one even was thinking about Simon - so he had time to create Graceland.

 | Bodo, You are right (and wrong)! I think its pretty well documented fact that the 1981 reunion never would have taken place if "One-Trick Pony" would have been a success (and maybe if John Lennon hadn´t been murdered). So what if "Hearts And Bones" was a yet bigger flop, what does that prove? If it had been a S&G-record it certainly would have sold more. (If it would have been a better album, is another question).
You are of course right about Art being the one who always more wanted a reunion. That doesn´t contradict the fact that it is when Paul accept to be a part of the reunion, they finally take place!
With the possibly exception of the last reunion Paul has always regreted the reunions with Art afterwards. |

 | I think somewhere paul mentioned that H&B was put on the back burner because of the S&G tour. One of the reasons the album wasn´t so successful was that people where expecting AG to on it. I know I was (youth and ignorance), it was my first Paul Simon solo album but changed my allegiances forever. the release of Surprise was delayed by the OF tour. Moral of the story no more reunion tours please Mr Garfunkel |

 | H&B can indeed be the "mistake" where he sings in the song. |

| Paul has already "confirmed" in some newpaper article I´ve read (don´t remember which one) that the "August 93 incident" is about his relationship with Art. |

 | Hakan...That was 1993 ~ you can´t say they don´t get along only they didn´t get along.
And if it´s so secret and you don´t want others to know, why are you putting it here?

Bodo, I have an "inside source", who were backstage during the 1993 concert and who says:
"Backstage and at soundchecks --PLEASE between us -- they were not having fun. They don´t get along at all. It´s crazy."

| Yeh I read the same Scatty. People always assume it was MEANT to be an S&G album, but Paul had already started writting it well before the tour and because the tour was so successful Paul, I think, felt obligated to make it an S&G album. Then things went very pear shaped with Art and Paul changed his mind.
Yep, it would have been a great success with Art on it, but all for the wrong reasons. I personally think it´s a great album and I have heard some tracks with Art on. And IMO I think it´s better as a solo album. The only reasons it wasn´t a success, and Paul has said this, is A: Paul didn´t promote it and B: it was a balad album. Terrible shame really. |

| Wouldn´t that mean, that if Paul had a flop he NEEDED his backcatalogue and so too Art Garfunkel to make money? Isn´t that a terrible thought? |

| No, he could also just go on tour, play a lot of ROTS and Graceland songs and have fun with Bob Dylan.... (98 - 99)
(Which artist who has a flop does NOT need a backcatalogue ?... look at Elton John, can you name any memorable song he released in the last 15 years? But live he has around 30 well known hits) |

| Hi
Maybe a not very nice question but: Now that we know that the thing about August 1993 is truth (and no fiction), then my next question is
: "What happened at the load-out down in Birmingham what did sure not feel like Love... ? (and what is a load-out really??)
