You’re So Vain
We’ve all heard the song, but have you ever thought about the message?
“You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you, don’t you, don’t you…”
Carly Simon is sitting around, thinking about an arrogant ex-boyfriend, yada-yada, who thinks everything is about “him”. So she writes a song about him? It defeats the purpose! The song is about him.
Somewhere out there, this douche nozzle is three beers deep in a pub with his boys. ”You’re So Vain” comes on, and the first thing out of his mouth is “you know this song is about me, right?”. You just fed his vanity a cheeseburger and fries.
Something to ponder.

Yes, I’ve been saving for the day my friend started a website.
