I marked "see Art Garfunkel" off my bucket list tonight.
He sang the hits, talked down to the crowd a bit, did two encores, read some poetry and mentioned the venue's name ... wait for it ... twice. A solid outing by a half-legend.
Not sure if he understood the demographic of Highlands County, however.
If we were making a list, Art was probably the 13th youngest person in the venue. Out of 2000.
This crowd was older than the line at the voting booth. And Arty got a little peeved when the sea of retirees before him produced a few emphysema coughs. He tried to be nice while kindly asking for the sound of silence (zing!) ... but he also mentioned the lobby. Nicely done.
Sarah, the sixth youngest person in the crowd, was immediately offended by the comment, though nobody else seemed to mind. They were all still wondering where Paul Simon was.
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT: "This next song is an anti-war song. Nobody plays anti-war songs any more. War is really big right now."
