My girlfriend and I are having an argument we hope you can resolve.

Were you and Julio having gay sex?

Thanks!

Hello Don,

It has been a common interpretation back then, but I think (not sure) that Simon has said that he did not know exactly what Julio and the narrator were doing. Maybe stealing ?

I think this is just a funny song and we are supposed to guess. If he wanted us to know, he would have told us. I don't know if the person who asked this question has any boys, but there lots of naughty things that boys do when adults (and police)aren't watching. I do not even want to know!

Didn't Paul answer that question...or talk about beeing asked that question and how silly it sounded to him?

I thought: Thats more telling about the person who is asking that question, than about the song or the guy who wrote the song.

I think Truman Capote was the one who promoted that interpretation:

On the other hand, I don't think Simon went to school in the Bronx...

When asked about the Capote theory in an interview Paul laughed and said it certainly was not me!
