Carly Simon (Amanda Borland)Carly Goes Back to Basics
Singer-songwriter Carly Simon joins us to talk about collaborating with her son on a new album and wrangling with Starbucks in a legal battle. Later: conductor Roger Nierenberg tells us how symphony orchestras can inspire teamwork and leadership in the business world.
Carly Simon
Carly Simon was in her 20s when she wrote songs like "You're So Vain" and "Anticipation." Over 30 years later, she re-recorded them on a new album, Never Been Gone. They came out so different that Simon says it was like "a visit with a psychiatrist." She joins us to talk about the making of her latest album, and about her recent lawsuit filed against HearMusic, the music label once backed by Starbucks, over the promotion of a 2008 release.
Conducting Your Way to the Top
