ADMITTED: Art Garfunkel, one half of the 1960s folk-rock duo Simon and Garfunkel, has copped to a guilty plea after he was charged with marijuana possession, the Associated Press reports. The singer made the plea on Feb. 4 and paid $200 in fines. Garfunkel was busted in upstate New York on Jan. 17, when the limo he was riding in was pulled over for speeding, and officers then discovered 6 grams of pot in Garfunkel's jacket pocket.
