If I told you that Art Garfunkel was spotted near woodstock, smoking a blunt, would this be in the least surprising to you? And even if it was, could you honestly say you care?
Garfunkel, 63, half of the legendary ’60s duo Simon and Garfunkel, was pulled over on Sunday by a New York state trooper near Woodstock after running a stop sign, The Daily Freeman newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The trooper’s report of the incident said a strong marijuana odor was coming from the car and a marijuana cigarette was found in the ashtray.
Please don’t answer that as I’m going to assume that you answered "no" without hesitataion and are as amazed as I am that Art Garfunkel getting picked up by the police for possessing ONE marijuana cigarette is newsworthy. Or to be more specific, newsworthy enough to get such widespead attention. Unless the agenda to prove that the entertainment industry is run by right-wing Jews is stronger than I thought, what’s the point here? Are massive hurricanes, economic crisis and war not enough for journalists to cover? Then again, I probably care more about Art Garfunkel’s bust than Jennifer Aniston’s advice to Angelina Jolie. I suppose it’s all relative. And it’s all news. After all, I probably couldn’t survive the real stuff if I couldn’t make fun of the crap. We all need our entertainment. At least he had the sense and decency not to puff directly in front of the officer.
Or maybe Garfunkel has a new album coming out. Ahh, I love the smell of P.R. in the morning. Smells like …. well, it ain’t teen spirit. Whatever, Garfunkel is far less annoying than Paul Simon, and though he apparently doen’t need the money or the fame, I do feel too bad giving him a bit more attention.
Oh yeah. And a bit of advice. For the love of god, I know weed makes you stupid, but people (and Art), smoke your stash at home! Don’t go for a drive, don’t go to the airport, don’t travel to a foreign country with harsh drug laws. Stay in the house. And try not to burn it down. Lock yourself in if you have to. Have you learned nothing from Billy Joel ,Whitney Houston, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Heche, and co.? If you’re going to take stupid pills and smoke idiot grass, DON"T LEAVE THE HOUSE! Don’t keep driving around with weed in Woodstock..
The singer’s previous weed woes stemmed from a traffic stop in January 2004 in the same district of upstate New York when the limo in which he was riding was pulled over for speeding.
Unless you need the publicity, of course.
