After singing the iconic “Mrs. Robinson” on Thursday night at the Overture Center, Art Garfunkel announced that he had a disclaimer for the song.
It was for the verse, “Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon / Going to the candidates debate / Laugh about it, shout about it / When you’ve got to choose / Ev’ry way you look at it, you lose.” Читать далее »

(CNN) - Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are getting their group back together this spring for a reunion tour of Asia and Australia, according to a source close to the group.
Reunion plans apparently began after Simon and Garfunkel played three songs together during Simon’s two-night gig at New York’s Beacon Theatre in February.
Tour rehearsals begin in New York in May and the tour will launch in New Zealand around the first week of June, according to the source.
Shows in Australia and possibly Japan will follow, the source said.
Simon’s manager, Jeff Kramer, has asked the group’s musicians to clear their calendars — which means canceling other shows - from late May through June, the source said.
Kramer, in a statement to Rolling Stone magazine after the February show, hinted that a tour was in the works.
The “entertaining and introspective theatrical concert based on her recent album of the same name” is co-conceived and written by McGovern and director Philip Himberg, with musical direction by Jeffrey D. Harris and production design by Clifton Taylor. The show has its roots in earlier cabaret performances under the same title; this is now an expanded theatrical evening.
A Long and Winding Road, produced in cooperation with Huntington Theatre Company, “is a tribute to the early works of Jimmy Webb, Carole King, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Paul McCartney and other ground-breaking singer/songwriters from the 1960s and ’70s”.
The song list includes “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, “The Circle Game”, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?”, “Imagine”, “Fire and Rain” and many more.
A Long and Winding Road will play Arena Stage’s temporary home in Crystal City in Arlington, VA. Opening night is March 31 at 7:30 PM.

HOMEWARD SOUNDS: One of 2008’s more pleasant recordings slipped onto racks fairly unnoticed - not that much is noticed on record racks these days. Let’s say “Simon & Garfunkel: Live 1969″ tumbled through the pipes and conduits of the Internets with less fanfare than one might’ve expected from one of the most revered duos in folk-rock (or folk-roll as one of our “with-it” writers termed the genre way back before, even, 1969).

Paul Simon confirms in a short interview the possibility of a Simon and Garfunkel tour trough Australia, Japan and New Zealand. In this interview he also said he is sure that this will be their last tour. They promised to do Australia and Japan in 2004, but could not get around.
Simon and Garfunkel are planning to tour together for the first time in five years, Art Garfunkel has said.
The singer revealed the plans five days after making a surprise appearance at a Paul Simon concert in New York where the pair performed three songs.
“Our plan to work together is coming together but it doesn’t go through England this time,” he told BBC News.
Garfunkel, 67, would not confirm if the tour would be in the US. The duo last toured together in 2003 and 2004.
Their 2003 concerts marked their first US tour in 20 years.
On Friday night, Simon and Garfunkel performed together to rapturous applause at a concert to mark the reopening the Beacon Theater after refurbishment.
