Carly Simon to Auction Off Song's Secret
Fri Aug 1,12:51 PM ET
NEW YORK (AP) — If you really want to know who Carly Simon (news) was thinking about when she wrote "You're So Vain," prepare to get out your checkbook.
Simon, 58, tells People magazine in its Aug. 4 issue that she plans to auction off the answer.
But there's a catch: The winner has to sign an agreement never to tell anyone.
The song, which was a No. 1 hit in January 1973, has been rumored to be about Mick Jagger (news), Warren Beatty (news), Cat Stevens (news), Kris Kristofferson (news) and James Taylor (news). But Simon has steadfastly refused to reveal the identity of the song's subject until now.
The auction will raise money for Martha's Vineyard Community Services.




















I had always heard it was Warren Beatty. Never heard about the others til now.
What do you guys think?
