Simon and Garfunkel: breaking the silence by Rebeca Zimmermann Entertainment Editor Texas will get a taste of nostal gia, “old friends” and new possi bilities Aug. 17 when Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel per form at the Houston Astrodome and again Aug. 18 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The Grammy-winning, almost legendary singing duo of the ’60s will be in Houston one night and Dallas the next for two stops on their 19-city U.S. tour which began in Akron, Ohio. “A Summer Evening with Simon 8c Garfunkel” is the First American tour by the duo in 13 years. Songs that made the duo famous — such as “Sounds of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “Bridge Over T roubled Waters” and “Homeward Bound” — will provide the nostalgia and feel ings of renewing old friend ships. But the concert won’t be all S&G oldies. The pair recently completed a new album — the First since the duo split up — and have rehearsed Five of the songs for the tour. The album, tenta tively titled “Think Too Much,” includes 10 new songs written by Simon. One song, “The Late, Great Johnny Ace,” is about Simon’s reactions to the murder of John Lennon. An 11-member band will help fill out the pair’s sound and a 660-square-foot video screen will show live closeups of the sin gers and pretaped segments. Although most college stu dents just were learning to walk and talk when Simon and Gar funkel became well-known, the duo’s songs still are appreciated. In 1982, during a tour of Japan, Europe, Australia and New Zea land, the pair shattered all pre vious attendance records. In France, “Mrs. Robinson” was number one on the charts — 15 years after its initial release. The wistful, gentle melodies and thoughtful lyrics that made the duo famous are timeless. Who can deny the feelings of fun inspired by the song “Feelin’ Groovy?” Simon and Garfunkel split up in 1970 after singing together since their high school days in Forest Hills, New York. After the break up, both pursued solo singing careers. Garfunkel achieved success with his million-seller album “Angel Clare” and with “Break away,” which included the single hits “Breakaway” and “My Little Town,” a reunion number sung with Simon. Simon won Grammy awards for “Best Album of the Year” and “Best Pop Vocal Perform ance by a Male” for his 1975 album “Still Crazy After All These Years/ Simon also wrote, scored and starred in a 1980 mo tion picture, “One Trick Pony.” The two met in 1981 for a reunion concert in New York’s Central Park, which drew more than 500,000 people. Simon said the reaction to the 1981 “Concert in the Park” and the live album from it also con tributed to the reunion tour. "We’re sort of back by popu lar demand,” Simon said. And thank goodness for that. Tickets for the Houston con cert, which begins at 8 p.m., still are available at Hastings Books and Records in Culpepper Plaza and Dillard’s in Post Oak Mall.
