When Maroon 5 released its debut album “Songs About Jane,” I always thought to myself, “Why does no one care about Jane’s perspective in this?” An interviewer asked singer Adam Levine once, and he said “It’s my ex-girlfriend.” And then everyone was like, “OK, take off your shirt again please!”
He wrote a whole album about “Jane” and all people can focus on is his abs. And yet, to this day, people still wonder who Carly Simon wrote “You’re So Vain” about. A song from 1972. 1972, you guys. Why is all the focus on the man in the relationship, no matter who is singing?
