C is for Carly

There’s a quote in the movie Little Black Book that always makes me laugh, because it it’s somewhat true:

“She believed that all problems could be solved by listening to Carly Simon.”

I don’t know if problems could be solved just by listening, but I do believe Carly’s discography is the soundtrack of life and love. And why shouldn’t it be? She’s known her that head-over-heels-madly-truly-deeply love and she’s been the victim of heartbreak. Through it all, she kept her grace and strength. And turned her experiences into soulful melodies.

I just love Carly Simon.
