The Worst of Times and Best of Times for Carly Simon

One month after the devastating loss of her two older sisters (in two days), Carly Simon will be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

On November 19th, all of America will see on HBO a jubilant but ridiculously overdue act: Carly Simon inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. She had been declared eligible a full 25 years ago; so when young singer Olivia Rodrigo belts out “You’re So Vain” the inclusion of the singer-songwriter who gave us that iconic, feminist, good-natured chiding of a conceited guy (self-proclaimed to be Warren Beatty) will cause many to think, “What? Hasn’t she been in the Hall of Fame for years already?”

But, however over-ripe, the honor is an honor. She’ll share it with two other midlife-plus singers: Pat Benatar and Dolly Parton, both of whom will be performing, while Carly will not be.

Yes, Jen Sincero is an Actual Badass In Person

She wrote the book on how to live your life boldly, and in Santa Fe, 14 NextTribers had the chance to hear Jen Sincero’s blunt, sassy words of wisdom.

When your kid leaves for college, it’s not the end of anything. It’s the beginning of a long, tortured process that may or may not lead to an empty nest.

Or maybe it was pheromones. Or a birthday wish granted. Still, sometimes the planets align and the world sees you differently. As you feel inside.

We raise our glass to the Veuve Clicquot widow, the first modern businesswoman who gave us champagne and launched countless celebrations.
