  • I’ll Bet You Think This Song Is About You

    CNN is reporting tonight that Carly Simon’s big secret — the subject of the standard You’re So Vain— is David.

    She’s just not saying David’s last name yet.

    And maybe the best part of the entire issue is that Simon reveals the clue is when she whispers the name “David”, which is heard when played in reverse just before the bridge on a new version of the song.  So even if The Beatles didn’t kill Paul and leave clues in their music, at least one artist says she has added a clue in reverse.

    All of this has prompted London newspaper The Sun to report that David is mogul David Geffen.  The tabloid’s sleuthing says that Carly was jealous about Geffen bringing Joni Mitchell to his startup label in the

    Eh.  Maybe.

    Knowing the lyrics, I would say that’s a stretch.  But it ain’t Warren (Beatty) or Mick (Jagger), so I guess either proved their vanity when claiming the song was about them.

  • CNN American Idolatry

    Perhaps the slowly sinking mainstream media news outlet should stick to covering stories about pirates.  Below is an image of CNN‘s attempt at blogging American Idol’s results show.

    One thought:  spoilers are generally revealed when the contestant’s picture is bigger than the blog post.   (Note:  this is the same CNN that blew Kal Penn’s suicide on House earlier this week.  Thanks for that one,  guys)

    cnn-idolatryNote:  the above is not a live document.  Do not click on the links.  They are included to show the entirety of CNN’s 62 word  cutting-edge news coverage.  I especially enjoyed bumping the tag list up by including the category “uncategorized”.  I guess the TV grafix folk don’t get that whole resizing an image on their blog difficult task.

    And we doubled their word count, but were still relevant rather than gushing, Kudos to you, Scott!
