The actors were Jack Nicholson (Jonathan) and Art Garfunkel (Sandy). Specifically, the scene in which Jonathan, after a series of loves and marriages failed, it should be to find a prostitute (Rita Moreno) to whom he confided his problems of sexual failures. The woman succeeds it excites to with a long, intense monologue with which he recalls that only loves himself. For me, Paul Simon = Jonathan Paul said that often does not give importance to demands of people. His cycle at the BAM confirms this. He revisited the Capeman to overcome the old failure, it was autocelebrate with African repertoire, and revisits the quiet railway stations, urban rhythms, and immigrant dreams of his greatest American tunes collaborates "with an extraordinary range of artists to offer three musical constellations "that are OLU DARA, GRIZZLY BEAR, JOSH GROBAN, AMOS LEE, THE ROCHES, GILLIAN WELCH… No trace of Art Garfunkel. Paul knows that many people have loved and love the harmonization of Simon & Garfunkel, but has decided to "cancel" that period of his career because to deny the contribution made to its success by the great voice of Art. I not understand how a brilliant man and sensitive can act with great firmness, ignoring the demands of fans and the feelings of his old friend. Remember the Mike Nichols film Carnal knowledge?

I am so envious you got to see the Capeman part. I love Capeman ... I can't wait for your comments on the two other portions of this month long event. Please ask around to see if these will be recorded. I would really be intereswted in purchasing a copy. Maybe, they will be on PBS. I understand the second, African set, was recorded, but the source was not sure the Capeman portion was. I hope so. Thanks for your comments. I was so happy to find this site. How did you like the second concert? John!! I am so envious you got to see the Capeman part. I love Capeman …
