Always liked Simon's music, but I must be getting old too, because formerly, stuff like Steisand's politics or Madonna's promiscuity, Diana Ross Sting or Robert Plant's abandoning group mates for greener pastures didn't faze me..
But, these two recent articles, have me seeing PS in a different light..

It's well known in the biz that Simon is an a-hole
My fave Simon story: S&G cut an acoustic folk number that flopped and they went their separate ways. After the Byrds launched folk rock w/ "Mr Tambourine Man", a Columbia producer named Tom Wilson took the S&G track, added an electric guitar and rock rhythm section, then released it as a single, all w/o S&G's knowledge. Shortly afterward "The Sounds of Silence" was the #1 song in the country.
S&G got back together and went on tour. They ended up doing in LA doing the Shindig TV show. Simon went to the guitarist in the show's band and tried to tell him how to do the "SoS" guitar solo, adding "this is the way I played it on the record."
The guitarist replied, "Yeah, I already know how to play the solo."
Simon: "How do you know?"
Guitarist: "Because I played it on the record."
