Music icon Paul Simon described a reported dispute with his wife Edie Brickell on Saturday as an “atypical” argument.
“The both of us are fine together,” Simon said in Norwalk Superior Court, according to the New Caanan Advertiser. “We are going to go back home and watch our son play baseball. We had an argument. It was very atypical of us.”
Both the 12-time Grammy winner and the former 1980s folk band singer were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct on Saturday. Police who responded to the incident found minor injuries. No protective order was issued in court on Monday.
“I don’t feel a need to be protected from him at all,” Brickell added, according to the report.
The shouts of “you fucking dwarf” were accidental and the bullet holes are from the gun that just fell off my desk.
No big deal. Every married couple I know has the cops over three or four times a week, maybe more.
I mean, I’ve been married 26 years and I must have had the cops to my house at least…um…lemme think…uh, never, actually.
Never mind.
Yeah, 30 years for me and cops come over every time I fart too loudly…which come to think of it has been never in three decades.
From the official site description of TPM:
“Commentary on political events from a politically left perspective, by Joshua Micah Marshall.”
What is up with the TMZing of TPM anymore. I used to look forward to very in depth, insightful articles about politics and now we’re reduced to Paul Simon domestic violence? I cannot begin to tell you how many things are going begging for conversation on this site because they’re evidently not sexy enough for page view fodder. Surely there’s some more serious stuff that might warrant some time?
Nothing to see here folks. I bet the prosecutor dismisses the charges after making sure they get some counselling.
