One of Simon’s first big gigs was opening for Cat Stevens at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. Shortly after that show, back in New York, Simon invited the singer over to her apartment for a date. He was late, and she started to get upset. So she pulled out her guitar and “determinedly” penned “Anticipation,” which would go on to become one of her biggest hits. Stevens eventually arrived, and Simon got over her anger. The two became lovers. “It feels too private to speak of our two bodies together, and too tender and spiritual to actually refer to it as sex,” she wrote of their encounters. “I loved to watch him as he slept, as he looked at the sky, or a piece of art. He rarely asked questions. When he did, it was in a wonderfully scratchy bass voice that sounded like an old man of the woods telling a tale of those who had passed by his tree hundreds of years ago.”
