David Geffen? David Geffen!

Oh so sad. 

After 38 years of speculation, was it Mick, Warren, Cat (yeah, him) Kris? It appears that the truth comes out. And, purportedly, Carly Simon wrote the song because she was pissed that Mr Geffen was showing a tad too much interest in Joni Mitchell's career.

She could have sang, "he's so opportunistic" but it would have been challenging to make it work with "don't you, don't you…"

Other than Carly's long queried who is she talking/singing about, she and Joni Mitchell are the iconic voices of multiple generations. 

Living out loud. They both chronicled the lives, loves, aspirations, the reality/fragility of life. Mitchell's "Nothing Can Be Done" is a refrain in her song "Night Ride Home" which is about the resignation that comes with aging. And Carly, similarly, chronicled the demise of her marriage, then created an anthem for women in her "Coming Around Again"

Right up to the present, slugging it out with Starbucks for breach of contract. Apparently, like the rest of us Baby Boomers, according to the story, she too is struggling with funding her retirement.

Okay, perhaps a slight exaggeration. 

I, still, though had secretly wanted the fellow 'who walked into the party' to be an object of my fantasy, didn't you?
