FWIW, Joe DiMaggio thought Simon and Garfunkel were disrespecting him in the song. Simon had to explain to him years later that they weren't literally saying DiMaggio had disappeared into obscurity, but rather that he was an icon, and America needed more icons and heroes like DiMaggio had been a couple of decades earlier. -- That was a great rendition Simon did in that video.Gil Dobie wrote:
