turned to a youngster who also
was in the store. “Do you know
what that was?”
“Who?”
“That was Art Garfunkle,"
ghA KAie
“Who’s that?,” the young
man asked.
It just goes to show how
quickly musicians are dated.
Garfunkle is perhaps best
known for hit songs he turned
out with Paul Simon in the early
1970’s such as “Bridge over
Troubled Waters,” “Sounds of
Silence,” and “Mrs.
Robinson/’
He combines beautiful music
with intelligent, intelligible
lyrics in a way that should truly
be appreciated, especially with
the likes of Madonna and
Michael Jackson topping the
charts with songs that aren’t
exactly choice poetry set to
music.
FLEETING FAME isn’t a
problem for all pop stars.
I took a call earlier this week
from Beth Sills, who wondered
why there was little notice that
Elvis Presley’s birthday is
today.
Beth, who graduted with me
in 1977, is an Elvis fan who’s
visited Elvis’ mansion in Mem-
phis on a couple of occasions.
Like a lot of Elvis fans, she
has a little trouble explaining
why she’s still intrigued with
the rock’n’roll great a decade
after his death.
“I think it’s important to re-
member him,” she said, citing
his dramatic impact on music
and the public at large.
Elvis would have been 53
today if he were still alive.
A lot of people find it hard to
believe that he performed a
concert in Gainesville and
spent the night in the old Cur-
twood Motel. But they would
probably be surprised to see
Art Garfunkle at a convenience
store putting self-service gaso-
line in his car.
