Playing Possum--Carly Simon
Carly Simon did not come to play, she came to play possum. In a moment that was part Shaft soundtrack, part Vogue cover shoot, and entirely unplanned (depending on which version of the story you believe), Simon took a stolen teddy, a glass of wine, and Norman Seeff’s camera and created one of the most talked-about covers of the 1970s. It’s not cheesecake, it’s power. It's not a pose, it’s a provocation. And it's definitely not what Carole King was doing. Grab a copy and listen along with us. Questions, comments, recommendations?
