Why did Carly Simon sing about Warren Beatty?
The 70-year-old singer told People magazine that she's “confirmed that the second verse is Warren,” one of her ex-lovers in the 1970s. She added that Beatty “thinks the whole thing is about him” – though after years of speculation linking him to the song, that is perhaps not much of a surprise.Nov 19, 2015
