I love the song and always wondered why the title is as such. Now I know what the bridge looks like but still can't connect the lyrics to the Bridge. Are there cobblestones around the area? Flowers around the lamppost? Or does the bridge make one feel groovy? :)
Just asking. I guess if I see the place in person I might be able to relate to the words.
The pictures are great. I like best the last one.
How this song came to be is an interesting story, apparently the police department confiscated a huge amount of weed and burnt it near the bridge, not realizing doing so would affect the mood of people in the area :)
Now that's the connection I was looking for all these years. I used to do folk singing before in joints and I play a lot of Simon and Garfunkle, including this song. Thanks for the explanation. Owe you one :)
I didnt now that till you asked and i did some research so I owe you one :)
