How Paul Simon’s biggest hit immediately led to his sorest regret
What lifts your spirits one day can become a punishment the next.
Paul Simon
One song split up Simon and Garfunkel: “At that point, I just wanted out”
Tensions finally reaching a boiling point.
The cover song Paul Simon treasured the most: “Something extremely powerful”
Understanding every line.
The song that Paul Simon will always regret and the chorus that he couldn’t cut: “It didn’t build”
The chorus that never resolved the song.
Why Paul Simon thought he was never good at performing: “I don’t particularly like it”
Not ready for that limelight.
