rougher, cover me, come on baby cover me.

Greetings from Coverville for a Thursday afternoon. It is Thursday, June 26th, 2025.

My name is Brian Devin. Welcome to another cover story edition of the show. Today, an artist that I thought

was turning or turned 80 yesterday, she turned 82 yesterday, so we missed her 80th birthday by a couple

of years. But since I've never done a cover story for her before, that's okay. It's all right.

It works out just fine. This is an artist who had just one

number one hit, one number one billboard hit, and that was the song, You're So Vane. Of course,

a song that later was revealed to be about a bunch of different people, I think, if I remember correctly, there was always speculation ever since the 70s when the song came out as to who the song was about.

Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger, Mick Jagger, who even did vocals on the song with her.

But it wasn't revealed until she auctioned off, I think, for charity, the answer.

And boy, all this is by memory, by the way.

I think it was Dick Ebersol, who won the auction.
