	You're so vain was NOT, as is the common assumption,
written about Mick Jagger (who sings on the cut), but about
Warren Beatty.  Carly Simon finally revealed this in a brief
Rolling Stone interview about a year after the song came out.
	"Killing Me Softly" was written about a fairly 'new'
folk singer.  I also read this in Rolling stone, but I forget
exactly who it was at the moment; maybe it was Steve Forbert.
	Rolling Stone, by the way, purports NOT to be a gossip
magazine, but that's where I get all my irrelevent info from!
