Discordant Harmony

"Nobody in the mostly middle-aged crowd cared that they barely acknowledged each other," says a review of the Simon & Garfunkel concert in San Jose. During one segment of the concert, the pair ceded the stage to (and then briefly joined) another oft-contentious duo, The Everly Brothers. "It was a delightful parallel that, no doubt, was part tribute, part demonstration that advancing age and flawless harmonies can remedy old spats (the Everlys went a decade without speaking after a pre-show blowup in 1973)."
