Starting from the group named "Tom and Jerry" in 1957 in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, and I don't care which Tom and Jerry they meant, but they grow together like the famous cartoon film that I like. The Sounds of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", "Bridge over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "Cecilia", and "Scarborough Fair" etc. made Simon and Garfunkel become one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time List. Breakup and reunion never make them separate  because of their friendship as what they say in The Only Living Boy in New York.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine

What makes these guys so interesting ? My answer is because they're wild, on the stage even real life, as wild as Wild Horses.

Lets do some living after we die

Who doesn't care for me?
I played the game I was subject of, it was all in vain 'cause I fell in love with someone,
Who doesn't care for me, for me.
I hate the game and what it costs, to feel the pain for the love I lost to someone,
Who doesn't care for me.

But february made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;

As the ceiling flew away. 
When we called out for another drink, 
The waiter brought a tray.
