Art Garfunkel Charged With Having Pot
47 minutes ago
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)."

all he had to do was stash the dope in the seat and claim ignorance.
Who can say with certainty who had access. There would be no case.

I don't really believe in drug usage but hell - This is like Dionne
Warwick - Over 60 year old stoners who have likely been smoking weed
since they were in their teens - especially when they are shuttled
around by drivers and aren't driving themselves - Should be given some
kind of a small slap and sent on their way. If he had been driving I
might think different.
Have fun Art and get yourself some kind of a carrying case that the
cops wont spot as easily as a bag of pot in your pocket.

Any truth to the rumor the cop's first words were "Slow down, you move
too fast"?

Did S&G do "Feelin' Groovy"? I thought that was Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Well, the 'possible fine' is less than a speeding ticket. Sounds like small
slap to me.

That's all he'll get. Maximum punishment is something like a hundred
dollar fine. He'll pay more for the lawyer.
And Simon wrote "Feelin' Groovy" and eventually recorded it, but a
different group had a hit with it first. Don't know if it was
Strawberry Alarm Clock.
