Shaun Cassidy (b. 27 September 1958) is an American singer, actor, writer, and producer.
Growing Pains
Cassidy concentrated on stage acting for most of the 1980s and early 1990s. He appeared on Broadway and West End productions. Since then, he has created, written, and produced numerous shows for network and cable. Cassidy currently serves as executive producer and writer for New Amsterdam on NBC. -- adapted from Wikipedia
In early years the teenage star Shaun Cassidy
Used hair and smiles for innocent seduction,
But then went on to demonstrate capacity
At every stage of show business production.
No matter how extravagantly bound,
Don’t ever judge a volume by its looks;
And this advice, so simple yet profound,
Is just as true for people as for books.

Cyril Scott (27 September 1879 – 31 December 1970) was an English composer, writer, poet, and occultist.
Compare and Contrast
He used to be known as 'the English Debussy', though this reflected little knowledge of Scott and little understanding of Debussy. – Wikipedia
Comparing Debussy with Scott
Made things alike when they were not
Although it seemed like clever branding
It showed a lack of understanding.
And now it’s much more rare that we
Link Cyril Scott with Debussy.
