How can you walk away from this lucky place on top of the world, Paul?
Whats going on with you, you idiot?
How could you let that go, jerk?

The reporter asked if Simon had a Napoleonic complex, and was jealous of his former singing partners height.
I think youre on to something.
And that compensation gesture has created a monster, Garfunkel said.
It wasnt just the end of that interview.
Theres nothing really much to say, Simon said.
The music essentially stopped in 1970.
And quite honestly, we dont get along.
So its not like its fun.
So thatll never happen again.
But as Garfunkel recently told the press,he and Simon managed to patch things up earlier this year.
Pauls ex-wife [Peggy Harper] moved into the same hotel, Garfunkel says.
I knew this was going to happen at some point.
And Harper set up a lunch at the Pierres restaurant.
After years of estrangement, Paul and I got on great.
You cant go through life and stay angry at anybody.
You must resolve difficulties so you’re free to die easy.
Might their reconciliation lead to a Simon & Garfunkel reunion of some sort?
Well see, says Garfunkel.
And hed take out the guitar and he would play something.
And I would fall for it because he is a genius.
And that would slide back into working together with that spirit.
Another Simon & Garfunkel reunion after all these years of estrangement would be a milestone moment for the special.
You hear this, Lorne [Michaels]?
Garfunkel says when we bring this up.
Art Garfunkel Jr. supports it too.
Good idea, he says.
Its a big question, says Garfunkel Sr.
I would give it a try and see where it leads.
If the blend is still there, it will be irresistible.
Art Jr. loves the idea of a Simon & Garfunkel reunion.
I would love to witness it again, he says.
I remember 2004 when they played the Roman Coliseum.
There were 670,000 people experiencing that wave of humanity.
Id love to experience this again.
And Id like to be the opening act.
