Happy 75th birthday, Carly Simon! In 2016, the singer spoke with us about trolling Donald Trump with 'You’re So Vain' and discovering EDM
How have things been going for you since the election?I just feel so estranged, so apart from that part of the country [who voted for Trump]. It’s difficult to take anything seriously. And I hate that Hillary had to be the one to hit these ridiculous Trump-isms back across the net. It wasn’t worth lowering herself to try to beat him. She couldn’t be her best, because you can’t really shine unless you have a worthy opponent.I’ve sung at just about all of their birthday parties.
What’s the story behind the “You’re So Vain” anti-Trump ad that came out after the second presidential debate? I wasn’t as aware of the dangerous side of politics as I am today. When I became aware of politics, we were heading into the Sixties. Eisenhower was in power – he was a friend of my father’s – and I admired him. There was a sense that things were getting better. With this election, it feels like all those things we fought so hard for, the strides we’ve made for women – although we haven’t made enough – are at risk. Of course, Nixon was a scary time.
One of the most talked-about details of your memoir is the lost recording you made with Mick after recording “Vain.” Is there more to tell there?
