Sounds of silence to £ F OR THOSE of us who know Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel only from their classic records and an oc- casional appearance on late night TV, Friday night promises to be an Event approaching the second coming of Homer. The contemporary duo is responsible for poetry on which at least an entire generation was raised. Even for those who were not living in the spiritual world of the '60s, the harmonies and groundbreaking arrangements of Simon and Garfunkel still provide an opportunity today for introspection and really heavy vibes. The Silverdome appearance of the modern-day bards will not attract nearly the number of people who were reportedly at their big Centrsl Park concert in September of 1981. 500,000 fans and others with nothing better to do jammed the park to listen to the first Simon and Garfunkel concert since 1970. Even more saw the HBO tape and bought the double LP of the concert. Asked why they teamed up after all these years for a just-completed tour of Europe, Japan, and Australia, both members said they simply enjoyed singing together again. The 1983 "Summer Evening" tour is apparently a continuation of the fun they say they are having. "Artie and I had some heart-to-heart talks, which amazingly we never had," Simon says.

Cabaret is a poignant story that takes place against the backdrop of the wild- ness and confusion of Germany bet- ween the world wars. The performance comes alive as the theater is transfor- med into a '30s style cabaret where the performers and the audience inter- mingle to become, as a whole, the theatrical experience. The Network staff has attended to the tiniest details in presenting a historically accurate production. The theater space, already resembling a. Bohemian night club with its intimate brick and pipe interior, will become an actual cabaret complete with tables and dancing girls. The European fascination with American Jazz and black performers is also represented in the show, which casts many of the $ area's black talents. The Network's attempt to recreate the cabaret has an added boost from our own economic and political times that strike more than a passing resem- blance to the high unemployment, in- flation, and political apathy that reigned in the '30s. Thus, the audience of the '80s may find more significance e them famous. in this play than when it was first per- formed in the late '60s.
