One other thing... I swear I remember hearing a long time ago (in the 70s) that Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" is about Ricky Nelson and somewhat of a response to Garden Party. But I don't find anything online about that. Thoughts? |

I've liked this song for a long time (since it debuted). But it seems to me the lyrics are contradictory in two key places and that muddles the intended meaning. It begins by saying he went to "reminisce... share old memories and play our songs again" and ends by saying "if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck." So, what, exactly, is his beef -- not being appreciated for playing his old songs or being expected to play them? Just doesn't make sense to me. |
