You're probably right. While several of the song's name references come
from outside the music industry, the name immediately preceding Adler's is Phil
Spector.

(The news guy was probably better known in NYC. And, um, for a while some
may have believed they were the *same* guy.)

So, question. In the Simon & Garfunkel song where they say "I've been
Lou
Adler'ed, Barry Sadler'ed", are they referring to the NYC newscaster or to
the
A&R guy?

I've always assumed it was the A&R guy/record company exec/talent
manager. Considering that "A Simple Desultory Philippic" is a parody
of Dylan and a poke at the music industry, it would seem that he would
be the Lou Adler they're referring to.
