That's great. But unlike Janet Jackson - What have you done for the greater 2a community?
Quite a bit, but quietly.
Hawaiians tend to be cowered by government.
I haven't figured that out, you guys aren't pussies, but when
it comes to authority y"all melt.
You play by their rules and they will shove the bat up
your butt. Karl Rhodes is a good example.
I don't play by their rules.
I'll fight with anybody.
even my own kind.
Unless you have that attitude
you get screwed.
Don't get me wrong.
God, family, country.  In that order.
is the way I deal with life.

"The song is a critical profile of a self-absorbed lover about whom Simon asserts, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you." The title subject's identity has long been a matter of speculation, with Simon stating that the song refers to three men, only one of whom she has named publicly: Warren Beatty.[6]"

I've been married almost 46 years now. The drama of most people insults me as selfish and
disdainful.  Just be quiet and go about your business.

For decades, Simon remained mum on the subject. But 31 years after the song came out, she finally gave up her secret in 2003 — but only to one person, then-NBC Sports Chairman Dick Ebersol.

Ebersol was given one clue in advance: The letter "E" was in the person’s name.....

The following year, Simon gave up a few more letters, telling Regis Philbin in 2004 that the letters “A” and “R” were also in the name.

In 2010, she got more detailed in an interview with British music magazine Uncut: “I'm just going to tell you this — the answer is on the new version of ‘You're So Vain. ’There's a little whisper — and it's the answer to the puzzle.”....

When asked if Beatty knew it was about him, she added, “Warren thinks the whole thing is about him!”

Nowadays the song can describe practically everyone on social media.

edited to add:  Can add everyone in politics, sports, business, and mainstream media.  Hell, practically everybody nowadays who work and play in the public arena.

Carly Simon on turning down Donald Trump: 'I thought he was kind of repulsive'

Carly Simon isn't exactly Miss Universe material. 

Insults are cheap.  Totally irrelevant.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was the other way around.  She looks like a groupie.
