Today I Learned that ‘A Boy Named Sue’ was written by Shel Silverstein …

… I’m also thinking that today most of you will be asking ‘ what’s ‘A Boy Named Sue’ ‘

@JohnPhilpin Prolific songwriter, poet, and cartoonist! As for songs, he wrote a lot of Dr Hook's material (anyone remember them?)

@JohnBrady I remember Dr Hook and had no idea that he was connected to them either.

@chrisaldrich @johnphilpin I bet people who "read" Playboy for the articles didn't know that 😉

@pratik @chrisaldrich Neil Gaiman’s career started in that particular market .. can’t recall which publication that people bought for the articles

@JohnPhilpin 😉

@chrisaldrich Yes, I think he was a regular at "the mansion" as well... which always sits as a slightly uncomfortable juxtaposition with his childrens' books for some reason in my mind
