SIMON GARFUNKEL BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
SIMON GARFUNKEL BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER, Bridge Over Troubled Water performed by Simon Garfunkel in December 2003 in Madison Square Garden New York during the Old friends: Live On Stage tour MY OPINION IN THE PAUL SIMON DEBATE BELOW Theres a lot of arguing going on about whether Paul Simon did or didnt ruin the song in this clip I say Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel make an excellent duo They started out as a duo succeeded as a duo and will be remembered as the great duo they are Obviously there are two part of this duo both contributing to this and many other masterpiece s in their own way Sure Paul tried to do something different with the song this time which some may find irritating but without him this song wouldnt even exist and neither would this duo Whether Paul ruined this song or not is a matter of opinion I think of it like this; his way of performing this song this time is his way to interpret it and after all since he wrote the song he knows it better than anyone else Art did a wonderful job singing this both in studio in this clip and every other time he has sung it and he sure deserves cred for that as well as Paul deserves cred for writing it and principally creating the magic behind it But after all; why complain? Even if you dislike the way Paul sings the song this time I think you would find it very hard to honestly say that the song is ruined or anywhere near that So; why waste your time on complaining when you might as well accept this version and enjoy it?
