From Yahoo Music Blogs:

Late last week a 38-year guessing game seemed to have come to its end when Carly Simon released a re-worked version of her hit song “You’re So Vain.” Fans, media outlets, mystery lovers, and even people who weren’t alive when the song was first released all joined the conversation when it was revealed that the subject of the song is music mogul David Geffen.

Or was it?

Over the weekend, Simon, who was en route to the U.K. to promote the album that contains the new version of “You’re So Vain, dashed off an email to Showbiz 411’s Roger Friedman, exclaiming: “What a riot! Nothing to do with David Geffen!” Friedman, who is a writer for The Hollywood Reporter blog, says Carly didn’t even know Geffen in 1971, which is when she wrote the song.

Check it out.

I have a personal interest in this story since I know for a fact that one of the members of our small group happens to be the subject of this song. He dated Carly and she fell head-over-heels for him. He is way too modest to admit to this in public, although he has fessed up to us, and so I will let those of you who know the members of our group guess who I am talking about (hint: it ain’t me).

Oh yes. As you are guessing, please don’t forget to check your gullibility factor. It may be on overload. 🙂
