The “Clouds in my coffee” edition :: Issue #295, Rusty’s Electric Dreams






“‘Clouds in my coffee’ are the confusing aspects of life and love. That which you can’t see through, and yet seems alluring, until, like a mirage that turns into a dry patch.”

— Carly Simon

Clouds in my coffee…

If you haven’t already, go watch In & Of Itself. It’s a totally new kind of magic show, one that focuses more on connecting with the audience than simply showing off tricks. That’s all I’m going to say. Best to go in cold. It’s on Hulu (free trial available).

P.S. Thanks for all the “Happy Name-iversary” notes!

As seen on the Internets



And now I can’t unhear it: I might be the last person on the planet but I just learned that Mick Jagger sings backup, uncredited, on Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain.” (It’s unmistakably him starting around the song’s 3:26 mark.)  Apparently, back in 1972, she was in the studio with Harry Nilsson recording the song when Jagger called. Simon invited him over and the rest is history.

Ok, so I was compelled to isolate the vocals

And, no, the song isn’t about Mick. Simon kept the mystery of who she considered “so vain” for many, many years. In a 2015 interview with People Magazine, she revealed that the second verse is about Warren Beatty (who, further trivia, is Shirley MacLaine’s brother!). But, she’s also admitted that the song isn’t only about him.
