"It's my contention that everybody has a person in their life who they picture while singing along to 'You're So Vain.' (The assumption here is also that everybody sings along to 'You're So Vain' and quite frankly if you don't, I don't want to know you.) For most folks, women in particular, that person is probably an ex. Oddly, though, the person I picture is an incredibly tall and wealthy Texan I was pals with when I was a younger lass. He wasn't even particularly arrogant; it's more that I always thought he would look dashing in an apricot scarf."
