    "Paul is 17 days older than I am." "Art is older because I was born prematurely." 😅

    Paul Simon is one of America's great poets, a treasure. Its so nice to see the two of them getting along. Everything they've done has been special but for me, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. is my favorite S&G album and Bleeker Street my favorite song.

    My friends went to the “warm up” show in Akron, Ohio at the Rubber Bowl. At least they brought me back a tee shirt.

    If only they had put juggling in their shows early on they could have really made it big.

    I think Paul is the best looking one but both good looking .Paul is amazing
  • Paul was probably pissed that art sat next to dave lol i love these guys!!

    Paul seems to be wearing the exact outfit that he's wearing on the cover of his 1983 solo album "Hearts and Bones", only with a different tie. Interesting.
  • it seems great talent never comes from easy lives. so many times those who are compensating create timeless acts. the music has been some of the very best ever. magical its sad to know the suffering behind the scene but perhaps without it the magic could not happen
  • @ENGABU1
    "Not THE Steve Martin" what a great line.
  • @ooops372
    So funny: Paul born 17 days earlier but "born premature", so he is younger (sounds like a race of their mothers). They both are VERY individualistic. No wonder that they behave like fire and ice.
  • @mark2talk2u
    Wow. Dave is nervous. Is this really his first show with guests? Oh, just got to the Good & Plenty story. Learned that Paul was a guest previously.

    Well, one of them has a sense of humor.
