Yes - I should have add ´now´

But from all the stories I´ve read about him in the last years (going to his suit directly after the concert, telling his son he shouldn´t hang around with Tony and the other musicians because they are smokers... and the interview from 1984 where he said he gave up taking drugs) I concluse he gave it up.

Off course I believe Paul, when he says that he doesn´t smoke anymore.

But, in general, the statement "I don´t take drugs anymore" doesn´t meen that they don´t smoke a little J from time to time. Because in a lot of opinions (in mine too), smoking a little hemp is not "doing drugs".
And I can imagine that Paul has this opinion too, especially because he was a hippie, he smoked and he is a musicien. If people like that talk about drugs, they don´t mean weed...

BTW: I said this about Artie too...noone believed me, and then we all saw it in the news... so be prepared: I guess soon we will have a new headline in the news section :o)

Somewhere I read Paul saying he doesn´t smoke and take drugs anymore, because (among other reasons) it does no good for his voice. I think Paul really does care a lot for his music so I tend to believe this. And that would include weed as well IMO.

It´s so funny, Harper got caught smoking weed and only a few messages further everyone is talking about Paul..... is he a joint smoker or not???

I don´t think so, he gave it up in the early days, but I read in the latest German biography that Paul started smoking again during the Capeman, because of all the stress he was into that time.

But now he does yoga, so I think he stopped again with smoking.

This biography is written in German, it´s called Paul Simon Seine Musik Sein Leben. It´s written by a German fan, Rosi Ebel.

Here is the link where you can find it.

BTW I think Paul smoked cigarettes during The Capeman period, not joints.

Old news perhaps, but in the picture on the front of the "Old Friends " box set, Paul appears to be holding a cigarette but it has been airbrushed out. Has anyone seen the original? IMO its silly to remove it as it was right for the time.

OK, here is the translation, BTW it would be a nice opportunity for you Mickey to learn German;-) what better challenge than a book about Paul!!

It was after the trial, Paul wasn´t satisfied at all with the performance. He had a meeting with Mark Morris and Barry Alterman. Paul wanted another director which became Morris and Walcott as co-director for the last 2 weeks before the workshop. He became lots of critics, they said he was a controllfreak.

In the meantime Paul became so depressed that he was thinking about closing the whole thing (which he mentioned to no one), he couldn´t sleep at night, started to smoke again and didn´t had any idea how to solve the problems.


I hope the translation is good enough.

Hi Ans

Thanks for the translation...it was great. I should really learn German as I now have a German Aunt...lol

Thanks again...How odd that it wasn´t mentioned in the last Biography. I wonder how she found this info?!

Thanks again!
