Pop-music icon Paul Simon and his wife, singer Edie Brickell, were busted on disorderly conduct charges after they got into a heated argument in their tony Connecticut home Saturday night, cops said.

Simon, 72, called police about 8:20 p.m. after Brickell started an argument that got out of hand, sources said.

Brickell, 48, admitted as much in a statement.

“I got my feelings hurt and picked a fight with my husband. The police called it disorderly. Thank God it’s orderly now,” she said in the statement released by her lawyer, Allen Cramer.

During a brief appearance in Norwalk Superior Court, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer and his wife both told Judge William Wenzel that they did not feel threatened by the other.

“Both of us are fine together. We’re going home together, and we’re going to watch our son play baseball,” said Simon, who entered court holding Brickell’s hand and didn’t let go throughout the five-minute hearing.

“We had an argument which is atypical of us. Neither of us has any fear or any reason to feel threatened. I don’t feel like I need to be protected,” said Simon, wearing a navy-blue suit.

“He’s no threat to me at all,” added Brickell, who stands about half a foot taller than her older spouse and was wearing brown skinny pants, a black blazer and ankle boots.

Are you going to Superior Court
We ask for a motion to dismiss at this time.
Remember we have our son's baseball game
I guess she's still a true love of mine

Tell them I wore a navy blue suit
We ask for a motion to dismiss at this time
"He is no threat to me, your honor"
Because my Paul's the size of a lime

He was just trying to shove her in the shallow water before she got too deep.

Grandpa Gerbil looks scared.

I should call call the cops on my downstairs neighbors, for disturbing the peace. They spent the entire weekend arguing. Or rather, she yelled like a fucking lunatic about him texting some chick, he barely raised his voice but I did hear him tell her she was delusional and to stop yelling like that. One and off for two days, maybe more but I was out most of the time. At one point her yelling was so fucking obnoxious and irrational I kind of wished he'd punch the bitch as long as it made her shut up.

Ok.

I am a HUGE Paul Simon fan.

But I have to say, you guys have me rolling in laughter, even though I want to stand up for the guy. I can't, I'm too doubled over in hysterics.
