Art Garfunkel Charged With Having Pot

HURLEY, N.Y. - Art Garfunkel (news), part of the folk music duo Simon
and Garfunkel, was charged with marijuana possession after police
pulled his limousine over for speeding in upstate New York.

Garfunkel, 62, had a small amount of marijuana in his jacket pocket
when a state trooper stopped the limo Saturday afternoon in Hurley, 55
miles southwest of Albany, the Daily Freeman of Kingston reported.

The trooper smelled marijuana after approaching the vehicle, in which
Garfunkel was the lone passenger.

Garfunkel, of Manhattan, was scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 28
on the charge, which carries a possible $100 fine, or he could respond
by mail.

A representative for Legacy Recording, Garfunkel's New York-based
record label, did not immediately return a phone call Wednesday.

Garfunkel completed a U.S. concert tour with Paul Simon (news) last
fall, their first in 20 years. The duo, who have been inducted into
the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, produced a string of hits in the
1960s, including "The Sounds of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," "Old
Friends" and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)."

Respond by mail? The times I've been snagged by the law for having
pot on me, that was never offered as an option.

Man these laws suck, it's so ridiculous, I will never understand it.

Why didn't he just tell the officer, "I just came from Franny-Planet,
and I'm clean and sober!"-?

Or, "Really, officer, it's just some parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme."

I've been to see Simon twice, one time with Dylan. He seemed surly, whereas
Dylan had a great time.
