I know you felt that we were too conservative,'&#8221; Garfunkel said. &#8220;Well, my idea of spice meant a certain candor that must have hurt Paul\u2019s feelings. I realized; I did hurt his feelings.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHe said, \u2018I felt you wanted to hurt me. That\u2019s what got me.&#8217; And I thought, \u2018That\u2019s true.\u2019 I wanted to hurt him,&#8221; Garfunkel added. &#8220;The next thing I knew, I burst into tears.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe admission of the truth is psychological. You give it up and admit that you wanted to hurt somebody. You\u2019re touched by your own confession. And then there were hugs,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a wonderful moment for Simon &amp; Garfunkel. It basically ended the years of detachment.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Garfunkel also had some great things to say about his former singing partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPaul\u2019s very funny. The basis of the Simon &amp; Garfunkel relationship is laughter and jokes \u2013 even more than music,\u201d he said. \u201cRight from the beginning, we laughed all the time, and it was the source of our connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
