Paul Simon blames himself, not his wife, for fight

Pop icon Paul Simon said Friday his singer wife, Edie Brickell, was not to blame for their domestic tiff last weekend.

“I got what I deserved,” he said in a brief statement issued by his lawyer, Stephen Hayes, according to the Connecticut Post.

“It’s terribly unfair to blame Edie for our marital dispute.” Simon said. “I hurt her deeply. Frankly, I got what I deserved. Thank God we still love each other.”

The two were each issued a misdemeanor summons for disorderly conduct after the beef in their tony New Canaan, Conn., home last Saturday.
