the song always was an amalgam of several people - ok, so maybe David Geffen is among them and central to the song, but the apricot scarf was worn by Nick (a clue dropped in a Janet Jackson song where Carly Simon was special guest vocalist - "Son of a Gun"?)

Responses:

he founded his own record label (Asylum) when he was 27 and had already been managing bands like CSN for years at that point -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 20:27 1
- What surprises me is that he attended 3-4 colleges/unis, no graduation, but taught business at Yale at 30... -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 20:31
