Simon And Garfunkel: Songs Of America - 1969 - 6/10

More an assemblage than a documentary by director Charles Grodin.
While the duo’s songs play underneath, period news unreels.
Vietnam, demonstrations, civil unrest, counter culture, Kennedy, King, another Kennedy.
What informed the music, the audience for the music.
Rehearsals, studio sessions, traveling.
Finally, concert footage. Within a year, the pair would break up. Cause (my take) diminished trust.
A curio, an opaque time capsule. Passions of the period may be lost on those who did not live through the 60’s.
