Last week Morse College had a master's tea; our guest was the famous Art Garfunkel, half of Simon and Garfunkel. Known for his harmonies and his red fro-like hairdo, he spoke to us about life, music, and how the two intersect. Due to my working the event, I didn't get to be there for the entire thing, but what I did see was wonderful. He was so quietly happy, happy to be alive and have the life he has; he walks across continents and joined a frat for the discounted lunch.
It's for days like that that I am so very thankful that I go to Yale.
The song "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" was Paul Simon musing on breaking up the band, and the song "The Only Living Boy in NY" was Simon missing him.
