    It is such a terrible waste that these guys could not sustain their relationship. They created some of the most creative songs ever. Paul Simon, a brilliant songwriter, and Art Garfunkel, a realy bright guy with an astounding voice.

      Not one thing about Paul or Art was a waste. Yes, they are brilliant. Life is.

    so many are so talented and experience attention and fame when they are young faster than they can mature and handle. relationships are affected or ruined. only to find in later years the ignorance and immaturity. this happens in many areas, especially marriage. we really should listen to our elders who lived it and know. ty for your music paul and art 🙏💜

      @@johnnystarr2021 It's self-evident in the footage. This is not a recording studio. The documentary "Harmony Game: The Making of Bridge Over Troubled Water" included on the 40th Anniversary re-release of BOTW shows numerous clips of S&G in the studio and several clips of them performing songs from BOTW on their fall 1969 tour. This clip is likely taken from their appearance at Miami University in Oxford Ohio in October of '69.
