Quick trivia: Who is the old guy on the left? (No cheating.) Hint: Very famous singer. In the photo, he's singing with his son in 2019. The son is not famous. However, the old guy is best known as part of a singing duo.

I was just surfing the 'net and randomly came upon this video. I was blown away by how much Art Garfunkel aged -- to the point of being barely recognizable.

Art Garfunkel in his younger days. Central Park in 1981.

I was going to say Paul Simon. And then said to myself, "Hey, that must be Art Garfunkel." I told myself to shut up and then saw that cindra already answered the question.

I saw Paul Simon at TD Garden last year on his farewell tour. Really good. Really short.

I'm very depressed about the prospect of being a 70+ year old geezer.

1. What character from “One Thousand and One Nights” gave us the phrase “open sesame,” and now lends his name to a giant Chinese e-commerce company?
2. What Olympic event features a maneuver called the “death spiral?
3. What Canadian band released a hit song in 1993 that is, we’re pretty sure, the only song ever to land on the Billboard chart with 12 “M”s in its title?
4. “Second star to the right, then straight on til morning” are the directions to get to what fictional place?
5. If you break down a T-bone steak into the two cuts of meat that are separated by the T-shaped bone, the larger cut is the sirloin. What is the smaller cut called?

1. ali baba 2. 3. crash test dummies? 4. never never land 5. sirloinette 2. pairs figure skating 3. crash test dummies is correct 4. I think it's just "neverland" 5. tenderloin? (meat cuts are kind of weird, because the same meat can have different names depending on the shape of the cut)

OK, interesting: In the early drafts of the original stage play, Barrie called it "Peter's Never Never Never Land". When the play was first staged it was called "The Never Never Land". But when it was published as a novel it was called "The Neverland". Maybe Barrie got tired of the repetition, as it seems to have shortened over time.
