Art Garfunkel Charged With Pot Possession
Singer Art Garfunkel, who pleaded guilty last year to pot possession in
upstate New York, was charged again Sunday after a marijuana cigarette was
allegedly found in the ashtray of his car, state police said.
The 63-year-old Garfunkel, who lives in Manhattan, was charged after being
pulled over for failing to stop his vehicle at a stop sign, The Daily
Freeman of Kingston reported Tuesday.
Upon approaching Garfunkel's car, a trooper noticed a strong odor of
marijuana and a subsequent search turned up a joint in the ashtray, the
newspaper reported. He was issued a ticket and is due back in Woodstock Town
Court on Sept. 22.
In January 2004, Garfunkel was charged with marijuana possession after state
police stopped his limousine for speeding in the Ulster County town of
Hurley, which is near Woodstock some 55 miles southwest of Albany. During
that stop, police found a small amount of pot in Garfunkel's jacket.
The next month, he pleaded guilty and paid $200 in fines.
Garfunkel, who with Paul Simon made up the legendary duo Simon and
Garfunkel, produced a string of hits in the 1960s, including "The Sound of
Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," "Old Friends" and "The 59th Street Bridge Song
(Feelin' Groovy)."

Memo to Boffman:
It's "Garfunkel".
I actually quite like the fact that at this point in his life, what
with last year's pot bust and speeding ticket, Artie is apparently
morphing into a bit of a Rock 'n' Roll Bad Boy.
Stick it to The Man, G!!
And FWIW, I was pulled over for allegedly not coming to a complete
stop* at a stop sign, and I was stone cold sober.
*which I still vehemently deny, btw

know Art, but I'm guessing his tolerance for pot is pretty high. He's
likely been stoned since his heydey with Paul Simon.

Memo to Art. Quit smoking dope and driving. You're 63 years old. Seems like
I end up driving 40 MPH on the interstate behind somebody like you every
second time I leave the house. Was your left turn signal on when you drove
straight through the stop sign? I bet it was...You're liable to kill
somebody driving around stone cold sober at your age and you're getting all
grassed up and making Dorito runs. I'm glad you're keeping the glaucoma
under control and we're all proud of your basketball free-throw record but
keep the dope at home, okay? This is getting a little tiresome with you, you
frizz haired nut you.
