I cannot hear this song without getting emotional. The Town I loved so well. I heard the Dubliners sing it in a concert at Dudley Town Hall. The first time I heard it, it was sung by the Northern Irish politician, John Hume, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Price for his work in the Good Friday Agreement. I was in Londonderry, the town which the song is about, when I met him and he sang this for us. He also sang Danny Boy but that is for another time.

No. It is not JUST about actor Warren Beatty.

Yes, Simon revealed the “Dick Tracy” star was at one of the men she alluded to in the personal lyrics.

“I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren,” she told People ahead of the release of her memoir, ‘Boys in the Trees.’ “Warren thinks the whole thing is about him!”

(Because of course he does, based on the lyrics.)

The other man isn't Mick Jagger or ex-husband James Taylor.

In fact, it's not even a former lover of Ms. Simon at all.
