Simon and Garfunkel build a bridge over troubled friendship

Speaking to the Times, Garfunkel said: "I actually had lunch with Paul a couple of weeks back. First time we'd been together in many years. I looked at Paul and said, 'What happened? Why haven't we seen each other?'"

"Paul mentioned an old interview where I said some stuff. I cried when he told me how much I had hurt him. Looking back, I guess I wanted to shake up the nice guy image of Simon & Garfunkel. You know what? I was a fool!"

"We've made plans to meet again. Will Paul bring his guitar? Who knows. For me, it was about wanting to make amends before it's too late. It felt like we were back in a wonderful place. As I think about it now, tears are rolling down my cheeks. I can still feel his hug."
