…and speaking of old songs…

Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” mystery resurfaces, almost four decades later…and pegged to her new album coming out. Nice work, publicists, nice work.

Guess things happen that way, like winning stuff while downloading music

I know I don’t write about music so much, but that’s because my taste in music is very limited. Like, as in pretty much only songs from the 1980′s limited.  Okay, yes, I do like some current stuff, but I’m definitely more a lover of retro music, which is why I got a kick out of hearing that the 10,000,000,000 song downloaded on iTunes turned out to be an oldie: “Guess Things Happen That Way,” by Johnny Cash.  The guy who bought the 10 billionth download, a 71-year-old retired real estate broker living in Woodstock, GA, will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card, AND he heard from both Steve Jobs and Roseanne Cash, thanking him for his well-spent 99 cents.
