Carly Simon Has Still Got It
Her and her son Ben Taylor were just on the Howard Stern show.
Wow.
They spent 45 minutes talking about her marriage to that masshole James Taylor and the subsequent icy divorce.
Apparently neither has spoken to each other since they got divorced - even about important events in their kids life. And from the sound of it - which even Ben seemed to acknowledge - its mostly that masshole James Taylors fault (he won’t take her calls, didn’t speak to her at the daughters wedding - indeed made Carly use a porta potty at the wedding instead of allowing her in the house to pee).
Fuck him. Forget the ex-wife (but really - Mr. Sensitivity should grow up) what a fucking lousy situation to put your kids in.
The shocker (indeed, the whole thing was shocking . . . and incredible to hear) is that no one has ever talked to Carly Simon about this on the air, and for the most part, in private. Even the kids (which made Ben Taylor a bit uncomforable as he plays in both his mom and dad’s bands).
(oh yeah, her dad is the Simon in Simon & Shuster)
Here’s to you Carly. Keep doing what your doing.
Nobody does it better.
By the way, she has a totally different arrangement on Your So Vain. Wish I could find it online, because its even better than the original.

Had an English teacher in Jr. High who looked a lot like Carley and wore tight sweaters over a bigger rack and would lean over to help you in class — I don’t think I remember much more than that about 10th grade except I was about to explode half the time…
