HE may be softly spoken but Art Garfunkel certainly made himself known when he reportedly had a wobbly at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert.
Paris is back, bitches. Art Garfunkel: kind of a bitch. Ann Landers went to Scores with JFK Jr. Diane von Furstenburg's been drinking Pimp Juice. Sammy Sosa: white. Metal weddings: black. Michael...
If ever a popular song cried out for orchestral treatment, it's Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer." The complex arrangement of the magnificent 1969 hit implicitly suggests a connection to the classical repertoire. That's one reason the collaboration between Art Garfunkel and the Kansas City Symphony seemed particularly promising. Yet the symphony sat silently as Garfunkel and his four-piece...

Good morning and welcome to the Voice’s early morning roundup of news and views. It’s 5th November, an anniversary we can all remember, when Guy Fawkes didn’t quite manage to get his suggestions for MPs’ expense reform through Parliament. It’s also Art Garfunkel’s birthday – he’s 68 today. 2 Big Stories Bloody betrayal raises fresh doubts [...]
I'm guessing you're all vaguely aware of what happened on this day in 1605. In 1872, Susan B. Anthony cast a vote in the presidential election. She was fined $100 for her illegal vote two weeks later, but never paid the fine. In 1916, twelve members of the IWW from Seattle were killed when the boat they were on was fired upon by vigilantes trying to prevent them from attending a demonstration by striking...

Everyone knows that nerds make the best companions. They’re shy, sensitive, and they can show you how to download a ton of free games for your DS. Sadly, the misconception that nerds don’t know how to dress themselves (without mom’s help) still seems to linger in the cultural subconscious. If ever you needed proof that [...]
I've just been reading a list of the best selling singles in the UK, year by year, and it made for interesting, if somewhat slightly depressing, reading. During the four periods that British bands were supposedly at the forefront of music (mid-60's, Glam era, punk/new wave era and Britpop) the best selling singles were as far from those genres as possible, with the latter period being dominated by...
By: David SchultzA visit to any Hall of Fame is usually akin to visiting a museum. The inductees enshrined, if they are still alive, are far past their prime and watching them practice their craft in the present day would be depressing. We like Old Timers’ Day because we can cheer our favorites one more time; we don’t cherish watching them exhibit severely diminished skills. Musicians are...
