Simon & Garfunkel
I’ve finished watching the first part of the Paul Simon documentary. He still seems bitter about Art Garfunkel. He even goes so far as to say that while he was managing the musicians in the studio, Art was sitting in the control booth. But Paul wrote all their songs, Art was just a singer. Also, Art seems to be very laid back.
Paul probably blames Art for the breakup of S&G, but Paul went on to experiment with other types of music and has been very successful.
On the other hand, Paul’s mother told him that Art had a better voice than Paul, so that probably didn’t help matters.

Art went back on his word and decided his failed attempt at being a movie star was more important than his musical partner and friend. It was a betrayal that killed S&G and there was no going back.

It’s strange how rock stars want to be movie stars, and vice versa.

It seems from this documentary, in the words of Paul Simon, that Mike Nichols talked Art into pursuing an acting career.

Art was his muse. Plus with the golden curls he looked like an angel. It's hard when those things wear off, or you realize your muse wasn't all that into you.
