Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And ... Pot: Art Garfunkel Busted
Roxie Hougan
Art Garfunkel can add one
more herb to the pungent foursome "parsley, sage, rosemary and
thyme" that he and partner Paul Simon sang about in the '60s.
The 62-year-old singer, one half of folk duo Simon and Garfunkel,
was busted for pot, according to a New York State Police
spokesperson. Garfunkel was riding alone in a limousine when a
state trooper pulled the vehicle over for speeding at 12:20 p.m.
on Saturday in Hurley, New York, 55 miles southwest of Albany.
The officer claimed he smelled marijuana inside the car, and
while searching the vehicle, the driver and Garfunkel, found a
small amount of pot in the singer's jacket pocket.
Garfunkel, a Manhattan resident, was charged with possession of
marijuana and faces a $100 fine, unless he has had a conviction
within the past three years, in which case a more severe penalty
is possible. A court date is scheduled for Wednesday, though
Garfunkel is not required to appear in person. He could respond
by mail or have a lawyer appear in his place.
Simon and Garfunkel released five albums during their six-year
recording career, which began with 1964's Wednesday Morning, 3
AM. "The Sounds of Silence," "Scarborough Fair," "The Boxer,"
"Mrs. Robinson," and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" are among their
biggest hits. After the two separated, Garfunkel recorded several
albums as a solo artist.
The pair, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 1990, wrapped up a U.S. tour last month. It was their first
outing together in 20 years.
