Thread Name: BBC 'IMAGINE' Simon and Garfunkel
Subject: RE: BBC 'IMAGINE' Simon and Garfunkel
I thought it was interesting that they carefully sidestepped why they broke up after bringing out the album. Paul Simon hinted briefly at different musical directions, but Art Garfunkel kept going on about how great it was, what good friends he and Paul were and how much he loved what they were doing.

It also contrasted with a radio documentary I heard a while ago, which suggested that Simon was bitter that perhaps his greatest song, Bridge over Troubled Water, "belongs" to Art Garfunkle and the pianist, and he had to sit on the sidelines while they performed it, invariably to a rapturous reception.

An interesting and enjoyable programme, nonetheless.
