Carly Simon: Free, White, & Pushing 40

On the Monday morning on which I was to visit Carly Simon, I picked up the New York Post to see what number had come out. It was 071, which meant nothing to me. Browsing backward from the Belmont charts through the rest of the paper, I saw Carly’s face beaming forth from the Post's gossipy "Page Six.”

Carly Simon: Free, White, & Pushing 40

"Maybe It Was My Big Mouth"

On the Monday morning on which I was to visit Carly Simon, I picked up the New York Post to see what number had come out. It was 071, which meant nothing to me. Browsing backward from the Belmont charts through the rest of the paper, I saw Carly’s face beaming forth from the Post's gossipy "Page Six.” Beneath her picture was the following item: “Hotter than hot. That’s what insiders are saying about Carly Simon’s sexy new video, ‘You Know What To Do,’ from her about-to-be-released Warners album, Hello, Big Man. Slotted to debut on MTV a week from tomorrow, the video shows Carly, clad in a slinky white-and-black maillot, splashing around in the surf near her Martha’s Vineyard retreat. Advance viewers of the ‘sizzling’ display say the sultry songstress is a natural on film.”
