Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel: Episode 173

Spin It!

Hello, Darkness, my old friend.. This week we'll hear everything BUT the Sound Of Silence as we journey across a Bridge Over Troubled Water with Simon & Garfunkel! They wrote and recorded their final album while the breakup was imminent. We'll talk about this career retrospective and try to count all the times these childhood best friends quit speaking (spoiler alert, it's a LOT). Then the Mixtaper has a golden ticket as he takes us from Jasper and Jinx to a worldwide boycott! Learn about the Peruvian anthem Paul Simon accidentally stole, the tape recorder party that birthed Cecilia, and the hundred hours the duo poured into The Boxer with us!
