PARSELY SAGE ROSEMARY, ONE MORE TIME: Simon & Garfunkel, a band that is literally four decades past their prime, is expected to announce tomorrow that they will overcome their hatred for one another and go on tour later this year.
Bruce Springsteen putting on a better-than-ever show at 54, I think we can safely say, is the exception rather than the rule- as John Strausbaugh has long argued, rock 'n' roll is music that's by and for young people, not those at the far end of middle age still hanging on to the successes of decades past. Still though, for historical sake, and because I've never seen Simon in any incarnation, I may think about actually going.
