Carly Simon spills on who's so vain NEW YORK – It’s been one of the most tantalizing mysteries in music for four decades, and Carly Simon is ready for the big reveal. Talk about anticipation. Yes, she says, confirming years of speculation, You’re So Vain is about one-time Hollywood lothario Warren Beatty. But only the second verse (“You had me several years ago when I was still quite naïve/Well you said that we made such a pretty pair/And that you would never leave…”). Verses one (the yacht guy) and three (the Lear jet man)? She isn’t telling. Simon, 70, one of the biggest pop stars of the 1970s and ’80s, has written a memoir, Boys in the Trees (Flatiron, on sale Nov. 24), a lyrical look back at her childhood, her career, and oh, the men in her life. Nestled in a plush leather sofa in the lobby of Robert De Niro’s downtown Greenwich Hotel, Simon munches on a late breakfast, her voice a seductive purr as she talks about her book. Why keep the identities of the other two men in her hit song – which she performed on stage in 2013 with Taylor Swift, an unabashed fan – a secret? more including pics and video www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2015/11/19/carly-simon-boys-in-the-trees-memoir-youre-so-vain/75944910/?csp=dailybriefing
