I bet The Rolling Stones have never ever been to a supermarket but if they did Ronnie would put the stick down, Taylor would crown you in the head with it..Quote

I always feel it is that person's responsibility to do that, and quite rude not to. You put your food down, you put the bar down...next person. I am aware many people do not do this...so kuddos to Paul.

One day I was cleaning his studio Paul was early and he quipped, "I love to shave, it makes me feel refreshed, my favorite part of the day." I was like "ok then". Someone mentioned Lou Reed.. Lou was a sweetheart and a gentleman always, he loved electric razors and shaving as well. Lou boasted a giant collection of shavers, he'd always buy them in pairs, just in case he liked it and they stopped making that model..

How strange! I was on a road trip yesterday to Holland Michigan and listened to Rhyming Simon. Great album. Loves Me Like a Rock is so infectious!

Not sure about him being the "nicest guy"...ever seen "Annie Hall" or more to the point he asked for a guy's phone at a concert in Mountain View in 2001 and kinda tossed it away when he was done with it!
S & G were enterprising. In the 60's a little folk duo could easily be manipulated into a supergroup monster by record executives. There is no doubt both artists were battlers to protect their vision and that is why they are so unique to music history. Simon broke up the partnership as he felt Art was spread too thin with acting while Simon waited in the studio songs piling up. CBS did not want that as "Bridge" was a grammy winner and big money album. S & G were sort of like todays rap artists, if they were unhappy people were confronted.Quote

Former CBS chief Walter Yetnikoff basically said Simon is a pompous ass in his book. Artie is no picnic either.

he came up to me at Coors in San Diego back in '99 and said about 3 sentences. He was a good 2-3 feet from my face & not one word could I or my friend understand.

I wonder what Mr. Yetnikoff would have written if he had been standing behind Paul Simon in a supermarket checkout line as he thoughtfully moved the bar for him the way he did for me.

I don't know. I didn't say it, Yetnikoff did. He also said the Rip Torn character in Simon's movie One Trick Pony was based on him. Seems likely.
