I hadn’t heard that, myself, but Wikipedia has. They also shoot it down:
“Simon stated unambiguously in interviews however, “I wrote The Sound of Silence when I was 21 years old”, which places the timeframe firmly prior to the JFK tragedy”
“Ten minutes after President Kennedy was shot, Marvin Robinson, Helen Forrest and Dallas Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig, independently of each other, reportedly saw two men leaving Dealey Plaza in a light-colored Rambler station wagon. … Craig and Forrest described this man as being identical to Lee Harvey Oswald.
“The Warren Commission had Robinson’s and Craig’s reports of November 23, 1963. … The Commission, however, apparently … did not publish Robinson’s statement.
“… Robinson did not testify before the Warren Commission, and he has not been located by the committee. … the House Committee had it both ways by concluding that ‘The Warren Commission failed to investigate adequately the possibility of a conspiracy to assassinate the President.’ ”

“And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson.” (!)
“It’s a little secret, just the Robinsons’ affair” (!)
“On the side of a hill [grassy knoll?] in a deep For[r]est green…” [“Scarborough Fair/ Canticle”]
What could be clearer?? Simon knows more about this than he’s saying.
I’ve read that “The Sounds of Silence” was written about John F. Kennedy’s assassination. That doesn’t make any sense to me, but I have read it.

I’m pleased to know that I was right to doubt it.
Unless Simon was on the Grassy Knoll.
Should have been “The Sound of Silencers,” then.
And why name an album “Bookends”? A subtle reference to a school book depository!!!11!
In Dealy square I am not alone…
according to Oliver Stone…
And what was the Zapruder film shot on? “Kodachrome”!! This thing is like an onion!
