"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014

This kind of makes you wonder why Saga is already calling it a day. Of course the do seem to tour a lot, just not in the States.
I saw Simon and Garfunkel together, Art Garfunkel solo, and Paul Simon with Bob Dylan. All great concerts but no need to see Simon at 76.

Art Garfunkel - Old Jew Tour 2018
I just watched the Monterey Pop DVD the other day. They were so young then, they practically looked like kids. Time does fly.
Garfunkel had an interesting interview with Rolling Stone in November 2017. His relationship with Simon is not a topic he seems to enjoy:
Rolling Stone: I spoke to [Simon] about a year and a half ago. He told me you guys were no longer on speaking terms.
Art Garfunkel: [Stares into my eyes and doesn't respond]
Rolling Stone: May I ask what happened?
Art Garfunkel: I don't think you can because there are things that are personal and deep between us, instead of the Internet, your readers. ...
Rolling Stone: That's fair.
Art Garfunkel: Good. I'm glad you see that.
Rolling Stone: In 2015 you called him a "jerk" and said that you "created a monster" by becoming his friend in the first place. Do you regret saying all that?
Art Garfunkel: Yes. I do. [Smiling] You press people, you get stuff out of us. You're going to come with one any minute. You're going to find me relaxing and you're going to come with the left hook.
Rolling Stone: Are you hopeful you two will patch things up and maybe sing together again one day?
Art Garfunkel: Not particularly.
Rolling Stone: Why?
Art Garfunkel: Now, the word "enough" just flew into my mind. ...
Maybe he thought that it was an interview regarding his superb acting career post-Catch-22 (not that his portrayal of Nately could be called acting).
