| I HAD SOME DREAMS, THEY WERE CLOUDS IN MY COFFEE
I was reading up on some news headlines this evening when I stumbled upon this link in the entertainment section. Finally, Carly Simon is about to reveal who the subject of her song "You're So Vain" is, after 31 years... For a price. It has got to be a pain-in-the-butt to have to be asked that question over and over and over again...every interview, every time she has to promote a new album, everyone wants to trek back to 1972. She's an amazing singer and songwriter who has produced innumerable hits, and that sometimes gets overlooked. On, the other hand, THAT song (along with the Heinz 57 Ketchup ads which prominently featured her song "Anticipation") is her claim to fame. Well, the song, coupled with the mystery of to whom she is singing. At least she is going to do a little bit of good by finally revealing the identity for a hefty fee of $50,000, which she will donate to "Martha's Vineyard Community Services, which provides child care, counseling, substance abuse treatment services and visiting nurses to the community." 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. She's also being quite shrewd about the whole thing. Ebersol has to sign a confidentiality agreement. He can't tell anyone else. So, the secret remains. Possibly for another charity auction? Imagine...one by one, wealthy Americans will learn the mystery man's identity...while dining on PB & J's. The rest of us will just have to wait until the guy dies. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 12:30:00 AM |
