He was a manager for many major  hippy acts of the 60s west coast USA - Crody, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell among others.

David Geffen, there is a programme on BBC4 now about that era and he features in it.

I read somewhere that Simon was pretty pissed that he spent more time working on Joni Mitchell's career than hers.
Hence the song.

He was battin for the other team anywho.

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Ok the big problem I have with this verse is that the song is about him, its all about him. So she is just talking rubbish, if the song wasn't about him then you can write those lyrics but as it is about him it doesn't make any sense.
