i found a small news story about carly simon and who the object was of you're so vain. seems there's a video contest (that she's going to judge) about the song. also, on the site is a free download of let the river run i've always liked her music, so why not share her music today.
i'll try and answer all the comments all y'all have left, but if i don't answer individually, please know how much joy all y'all give me just seeing all y'all pop up on the screen!

on a serious note, the horrible earthquake in chile is beyond words. i am, like the rest of the world, watching the news and hoping the fatalities will be as few as possible.

MOST FUNNY SCENE.

ReplyDeleteOn the basis of the line'you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you' it could be anybody!
;)

ReplyDeleteI always though that it was about James Taylor.
ReplyDeleteGreat song anyway
xxxxxxxxxxxx
I always thought it was about all the men I've ever met.
ReplyDeleteLove Carly Simon so this was a lovely treat, XXXXXXXXXXX
Standby, Hawaiian islands on tsunami watch from Chilean earthquake. Coastal area evacuations in progress as a precaution.
ReplyDeletechazza...a good song is forever, clubs seem to be a thing of the past for me, sugar! xoxox

30yrs down the line darlin & I still warble away to Carly's songs - shes simply timesless :-)
ReplyDeleteReal bummer about the earthquake in Chile. I guess Mother Nature is real pissed off at the moment.
Excellent music... she definitely is timeless...
ReplyDeleteA friend's mum is vacationing in Hawaii right now... my friend is terrified! Japan is preparing for the tsunami as well.
The power of Nature is not for the weak of heart...
funny thing? david geffen says it wasn't about him... perhaps he's less vain than he used to be?
ReplyDeleteI'm so behind the times that I didn't even know till about five years ago that Mick is singing background on the song. Someone told me, I listened to it again, and sure enough, you can hear him clear as a bell!
ReplyDeleteI read that this morning...and wonder if Carly is still teasing us all. Funny that she finds it so amusing that a 38 year old song still makes people guess...only because she won't tell. :)
ReplyDeleteAmen to the time to answer this weekend...and thoughts with anyone in an earthquake zone!
Carly Simon ... :) The lady made it well through times ... thought always it was about Jagger.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time to de-dust some Doors and to hear the scream of a butterfly ... or it'S too late finally
That is terrible what is happening in Chile. I hope they recover well and that the tsunamis aren't going to be a threat to the other places.
ReplyDeleteIf you listen carefully, you can hear Mick Jagger singing the backing vocals on the chorous!
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, I'm tired and drunk and off to the feathers!
Tomorrow peeps. Tomorrow. :¬)
xoxoxoxox
On the original version only I suppose! :¬)
