    Yeah, I saw part of it last night on PBS too. It was pretty good from what I saw.

    A Big YES! I have a lot of his CDs.

    I missed that one Jeff, but will watch for it again.

    These artists are CLASSICS. Talented singers and songwriters for every generation.

    AK - Jeff wrote: I loved [Neil Diamond's] song about the tent revival - can't think of the name of it now.

    Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show ??

    Maybe I'm thinking of something else...

    Me too...JT is one of the few I'd PAY to see twice (or more). One gets the sense that he's playing for YOU in his living room ..he really enjoys his work.

    I like Carly Simon. I've got her greatest hits album. Was she on the show or does she still think JT "is so vain".

    Was that song about JT? I thought it was about Mick Jaggar for some reason.

    I don't think she was on the show - I caught it already started, so she could have been on earlier.

    Carly has never told.

    In January of 1973, You're So Vain was the # 1 hit song on the radio. Carly had just married fellow pop-superstar James Taylor a month before, so when You're So Vain hit the airwaves, it stirred intense curiosity about which one of her previous lovers was the subject of this wry nod to the male ego. click here to read the lyrics

    Was it Mick Jagger? Cat Stevens? Warren Beatty? Kris Kristofferson? It was common knowledge that she had been involved with each of them in the past.

    Carly has never revealed who she had in mind when she wrote You're So Vain, and over 30 years later interviewers are still asking her this same question........

    You're So Vain- The original song that started it all.

    Rolling Stone - 1973

    RS: Some people think "You're So Vain" is about James.

    Carly: No, it's definitely not about James, although James suspected that it might be about him because he's very vain. No, he isn't, but he had the unfortunate experience of taking a jet up to Nova Scotia after I’d written the song. He was saved by the fact that it wasn’t a Lear.
