    She was 27 when she performed in that concert…..It’s was real, it was visceral, it was pure, no pretense, authentic!! I got chills watching this….. one spot, no choreographed dance troops, no sequences, real instruments, no acrobatics and revolving stages and platforms, no auto tune (not needed), and yet the audience was transfixed, completely involved in the performance…..

      Never knew she is my mom’s age. I was a bit surprised seeing Carly Simon now how old she has gotten old but now knowing she is my mom’s age, both have aged gracefully.

I made it through God’s grace. Many songs from the 1970s remind me of what I went through and how resilient I am because of the experience. I’m good now. Happy, healthy, and enjoying life!

      Yeah, apparently, a song about the kind of social situation, the upper class life that Carly herself grew up in. The beautiful young debutante daughters who went to all the prestigious colleges mostly to look for young, potentially rich husbands coming out into Society, launched by their families. So many, like the girl in the song, dreaded it, but that was the way it was, so she resigned herself to it.

My daughter and I were last in line but she treated us as if we were first. I was 35 at that time. Now I’m 80 and still love all the REAL talent from the 70’s. Carly is pure class. Still listening in 2022. Anyone else?

It's hard to believe that during the 70s people could enjoy Carly /Carole King/Linda Ronstadt/Stevie Nicks/Karen Carpenter/Joan Biaz/Emmy Lou Harris/Olivia Newton-John/Joni Mitchell / Diana Ross/ Judy Collins and many more. Year after year. Amazing talent. By the way, who do we have today??? I tend to forget.

Her stunning beauty, her youth, her passion epitomize a time that I feel blessed to have lived through and continue to hold with heartfelt fondness. Underneath the flawless performance is what the song has to say about life - not just married life. The lump in my throat is genuine. The true mastery of this song and performance still resonates more than 50 years later. Thank you so much, Carly…

But little did we know that sitting behind us was Carly Simon. We just stared at this beautiful woman, with big hair and a hat. It wasn’t until James Taylor introduced her as his wife that we realized who she was and that we were sitting next to a rising star. That really made our evening being that close to her.

Carly Simon has always owned a SPOT in my personal vinyl bin...JT///Nope...Still, here in 2015...this song never fails to bring tears to my eyes for so many reasons I quiver inside in an attempt to categorize them...oh...yeah, I'm a 100% oversexed hetro living with a gorgeous easter european (bulgarian) woman 18 yrs my junior.....who , with a massive bunch of letters (degrees) after her name still finds my catagoration of music dificult to annex.......so goes life: whatever's left at this point..."WHO-you're- I am? so VAIN!"

It will never be again, no matter how good things become. It was a time of unprecedented optimism, of joy and ...of just plain fun. I am so grateful for being there. I don't know what I did to be so blessed, but, thank you, God, for the privilege of being there. Carly was one of us, such a talented girl.

Then afterwards, we'd go to a house party, and anyone who went was abuzz with their experience. And we'd play the artist on the turntable (yes, a turntable-and we'd hold the cover and comment on the picture or design of the cover) over and over. Good times. RIP Johnny Boy (best party's)
