Paul Simon: The Quiet Celebration Concert on Hulu

I went to a Simon and Garfunkel concert in Forest Hills on August 12, 1967. The opening act was The Doors. I enjoyed The Doors but I went to the concert just to see Simon and Garfunkel. I remember some of the people in the audience were asking for them to sing certain songs and Paul kept reassuring them that they were going to sing them all. When one guy kept yelling at them to play a certain song the mild mannered Paul Simon got angry and called the guy a "mental eunuch". It was quite out of character for Paul Simon to do that but it was so right on. The guy shut up and the performance continued as planned.

Ever since then I call someone who is saying something stupid a "mental eunuch".

Was front row for Paul at hangout fest in 2011. 21 year old me had no idea who he was, just wanted to get drunk/stoned and get a good spot for a headliner. He blew me and my friends away. You could hear a pin drop when he played sounds of silence.

Shoutout to the cool people around me that didn’t mind me pissing in beer cans and bury them in the sand so I wouldn’t lose my spot going to the pisser
