Hmm

 

Funny you should mention that - I've spent a fair amount of the weekend reading Lemmy's autobiography and drinking Jameson Irish Whisky as I do.

I thought the Irish preferred Irish WHISKEY?

No danger of him being consigned to the sound of silence just yet.

Lot less hair than the great days, mind

 

I always wondered if he was the model for Hair Bear

Saw Garfunkel live last night. Was on stage for about hour and a quarter, with a 15 minute break in the middle. His son (!) had a solo in each half and there were anecdotes or poetry (!!) between most songs. Lost his thread with the talking a couple of times and looked a bit frail. However when he started singing most of the voice was still there and there were enough magical moments to make it a worthwhile and moving evening. We only got 2 verses of bridge over troubled waters but sounds of silence and bright eyes were both great. Anyone who can still sing like that isn't about to keel over but would guess he won't be touring much longer. Not one for 2020 but I saw contemporaries the Stones last year and he was much frailer than any of them. 2022-3 would be my guess.

Good stuff.  I like it when Deathlisters report back after seeing potential candidates in person.   No better way of studying the form IMO.

 

Interesting Garfunkel isn't doing the whole of Bridge Over Troubled Water anymore.   That oxygen sapping last verse could induce a heart attack all by itself...

Art Garfunkel is 80 today. Paul Simon reached that age a month ago.

Art's coming back to the stage apparently?

He's learned to manage his voice really well, I'm assuming he's finally kicked the fags.
