1903 George Orwell – Bengal-born British author (Nineteen Eighty-Four, Animal Farm, Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, Road to Wigan Pier)

He chose to immerse himself in the experiences of the urban poor, and worked menial jobs. Later, he spent time in England as a tramp, and also documented the life of the unemployed in northern England.

Sounds to me like he couldn't keep a job.







1945 Carly Simon - Singer (Anticipation, You're So Vain, Mockingbird, Nobody Does It Better, Let the River Run)

"You're So Vain (You probably think this song is about you." Well?? Isn't it?








1976 Johnny Mercer – US lyricist, composer and singer (Moon River, Jeepers Creepers, Autumn Leaves, Hooray for Hollywood)

He also worked with Henry Mancini on the movie score for one of my very favorite movies, Hatari! with John Wayne.
