The Sun: Carly Simon reveals the subject of You're So Vain

No, it isn't a lover. Yes, it was somebody important in her life.

Who is it? I'm not telling. Go read the article.

Oh, look; she's releasing an album next week, and a re-worked version of the song is on it. What a coincidence...

Well. There's another of the great mysteries of our time revealed, leaving that much less wonder and magic in the world.

And I bet Dick Ebersol is now regretting spending whatever it was he bid at that charity auction for the secret, a personal performance, and a peanut butter sandwich. Unless Carly Simon is very, very good at making peanut butter sandwiches...

I'm failing to see how this is earth shattering?
Color me "meh".

You have to be the same age as Bob and me, or older, to understand why this is so important...

Okay, it isn't really important. But it is one of the big (previously) unanswered questions of our time, so it brings back a few memories.

Now all we need is for Don McLean to make an announcement of his own.
Sure, we have some very good guesses, but we've never heard it straight from the man himself.
(I'm too young by your reckoning, but I was still shocked to find out, by the way.)

Don McLean already made his announcement on the meaning of "American Pie". He said, and I'm pretty sure I'm quoting this correctly, "'American Pie' means I'll never have to work again in my life."

Oh, I knew that.
That's essentially saying "I'll never tell", though.  What if he changed his mind?

Blarg. There should have been a "" after that.
