Well done, you`ve answered all 3 of the questions correctly, which now means you`ve reached the maximum allowed.

For all others, the next question-

In which song did Paul Simon refer to Art Garfunkel as `Tom` and under what circumstances?

[thebigone]

The Only Living Boy In New York.
The song mentions his departure to Mexico for filming of
´Catch-22´ and expresses the hope that his ´part will go fine.´

"THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK"

Paul refers to Garfunkel as "tom" in this song as a reference to their early days when they were known as "tom & jerry".
