I’m traveling right now…. I can’t hear the video but I don’t need to with her. She is an icon no doubt. You’re so Vain to me was her masterpiece and it still is to this day. But she had a lot of great songs. She was also wrote well…awesome pick Lisa!

This song was an epiphany for me. A new way to look at the world. She’s brilliant. When you get a chance, go to the link under her picture. There is a “new” video to You’re So Vain. I always thought it was about Mick Jagger, but I was wrong.

I sure will when we get there! It’s blanked out on my phone… this is why I don’t use a phone to check on blogs.

I’ve never seen those lyrics before…I always thought it was interesting. Warren got around in the seventies. I never knew George Harrison was ever involved musically or there with Carly Simon… him and Art shocked me…seeing them.

I can see Warren exploiting someone who was “still quite naive.”

Excellent choice, Li, and I love “That’s the Way I Always Heard it Should Be.”
“Touched by the Sun” is one of my all-time faves of hers… it has such a spirit of adventure and exploration that I find deeply inspirational. Damn fine song. Incredible artist.
