(0837) Reason it’s so slow getting to 10 is not breakfast, not chores but gathering material. Not a lot of point at 0500 to 0700 as not many are awake but the snippets start flooding in around our 0730 to 0800, inc. newsletters, plus DAD having a black square, then not at NOWP … it’s really frenetic just now but rewarding too. And all the ladies are upandattem as well. Plus I love the early hours anyway. So there’s just a mass, a mess, of incoming at this time … needs slowly sorting. Have a good one today. (0920)

… Quora in passing in this case. Downunder pundit, Phillip Anderson. Vaguely recall the name, big downunder I seem to recall in political punditry. Anyway:
Who was Carly Simon writing about in ‘You’re So Vain’? Why?
“I think there might be some clue she gave in the first few words she sings in the song. She whispers “Son of a Gun”.
Well around 1968 she was going out with the British singer songwriter Cat Stevens, and his first two singles released in the US were “ Matthew and Son” and “ I’m Going To Get Me a Gun”.
She did say the song was about two or more men in her early life, and she did say that Warren Beaty was one of them. But I also think Cat Stevens may be the other one. I remember reading an interview once where Cat says he was very self- absorbed in his early days of fame but he came back down to Earth when he developed a bad case of Tuberculosis and almost died and became more introspective in his songwriting.”
Possible, possible. I always thought it was James Taylor. There was a not disconnected attitude with Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star who wanted (in the lyrics) to just have a minor part in his life, not have his heart, “he” being a big star in his own right.
What precisely did these girls hope for with the type?
