Carly Simon Gives Away Who Is ‘So Vain’<\/b><\/p>\n

Carly Simon will finally reveal who’s so vain to a man with major connections in the media world ? should he ever decide to break his vow of secrecy.<\/p>\n

But Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC sports and NBC Olympics, said he’ll never tell once Simon divulges to him the subject of her 1972 song “You’re So Vain” after a private performance in about two weeks. Ebersol won the information with a $50,000 bid in a charity auction; he also gets a lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My first reaction was “who the fuck cares?<\/i>” I’ve never heard of the singer, the song, or the supposed mystery of who she thinks is vain<\/i>. As a musical moron, perhaps I’m missing out on some long-running soap opera. Even so, look at how the AP can’t take a joke:<\/p>\n

Ebersol said Simon gave him one clue about the man’s identity that she said he could reveal: He has the letter “e” in his name.<\/p>\n

That could be any of the chief suspects: actor Warren Beatty, whom Simon dated; Mick Jagger, who sang backup on the song; and her ex-husband, James Taylor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They actually try to think of people with e’s in their names!<\/i> Truly the human need to reveal the unknown is revealed as the base instinct it is. There’s no other explanation for why this is being taken seriously. I applaud Simon for exploiting it to the tune of 50000$ minus a sandwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
