![Simon and Garfunkel's relationship became strained and they split in 1970.[28] At the urging of his wife, Peggy Harper, Simon called Davis to confirm the duo's breakup.[29] For the next several years, they spoke only two or three times a year.[30] Their last album, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970), was the bestselling album to date.[31] The title track was inspired by a line from the Swan Silvertones version of "Mary Don’t You Weep".[32] The melody was based on Bach’s four-part chorale ‘O sacred head now wounded’.[33] The title track reached number one, and "Cecilia" and "The Boxer" made the top ten.[24]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xhzw3n33hagztlq7gzcig7rk/bafkreihdunklkjkk35p33wnsfqy6rpzv5bybjrmjtt7p6vqkvma6txqwty)
![In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]: 26 and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.[2] It is a narrative where its conflict comes from characters not recognizing, or not being told, key information that would resolve the conflict, often because of plot contrivance. The only thing that prevents the conflict's resolution is the character's constant avoidance or obliviousness of it throughout the plot, even if it was already obvious to the viewer, so the characters are all "idiots" in that they are too obtuse to simply resolve the conflict immediately.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xhzw3n33hagztlq7gzcig7rk/bafkreifz4u7hjyhdg5frsqo2v6rwkz7pmwbahh62nn6jjfqfcqzwbt5xnq)
