I say no. Taylor is probably a mean asshole if you provoke him.

I agree. Taylor looks like someone for whom the niceness is a complete front.

no, the boxer wins

I'm afraid all signs point to Taylor, as he's got a good foot in height on the diminuative Simon, ergo his wingspan would be a deciding factor.

I would think that Simon's punches would have a little more muscle behind them when compared to the sissy hits of James Taylor...and yes I should be ashamed for taking part in this goofy debate, but
Simon would knock Taylor's li-la-lights out.

I'd go for Simon, tough and wiry, and light on his feet. Art Garfunkel could have both though.

Plus Taylor will have a glass jaw and nose.

Kenny and Hector totally otm - Taylor wins easy, even if Simon could take Garfunkel.

wasn't James Taylor once a junkie? If he was, then this really is no contest, he would fuck up Simon like Elvis looking for morphine in Graceland.

i think that makes sense.

Jackson Browne would wipe the floor up with BOTH of 'em!

how bout Phil Collins Vs James Taylor

― Startrekman', Monday, 27 December 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago)

simon wiry???
tough maybe, but even if once less pudgy than now, i don't think he was ever wiry.....
jt in the 5th.

jim croce could kick all their asses...

― Michael Pierce (somewhere there), Monday, 27 December 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago)

Gino Vanelli could take on their asses.

― Startrekman, Monday, 27 December 2004 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Like the man said, you don't mess around with Jim.

I think Carrie Fisher took Paul Simon out, then again, she is Princess Leia. Rhymin Simon is a pretty bitchy.

Kenny Rogers would take both Simon and Taylor with moves like Jet Li.

tracy chapman would kick BOTH o' their white-boy asses.

the more that i think about it, the more i think that ALL "taking sides" threads wr2 individual artists should be decided upon which of the individual artists could kick the other individual artist's ass!

e.g.: jon anderson v. ian anderson. 50-cent v. ma$e. alecia keys v. norah jones.

I &hearts this thread

Wouldn't be a fair fight, 'cause Art Garfunkel would probably want to join in. Taking JT's side, of course.

Taylor: (throws punch at helpless Simon) Thanks Artie!
Garfunkel: (pinning Simon's arms) Hey, "You've Got A Friend", James.
Taylor: Next, we take that fat asshole Lester Bangs. He's already passed out over there in the corner.

Did this fight actually happen and were any bystanders accidentally injured by stray punches? Is that how Carly Simon got the fat lip?

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 27 December 2004 13:58 (twenty years ago)

yeah, taylor always seemed like he was just barely hiding a serious mean streak and impulse-control problem. paul would most certainly get his teeth kicked in.

have you seen "two-lane blacktop" btw?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 27 December 2004 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Didn't James Taylor spend some time in an institution? HE CRAZY!

Pipsqueak Paul would have the Graceland kicked outta him.
