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.
