Mariah's bodyguards inspire a song


Mary Chapin Carpenter has a real racket going. How much to hear If I Were a Diva? No diva herself, more like the anti-diva, Carpenter plays the song from time to time as comic relief, often as one of her encores. It was co-written by her band and crew, inspired by VH1's Divas project - "It was just such a joke to us," she says - and by a brush with Mariah Carey's formidable celebrity at the Grammy awards a couple of years ago.
"Mariah Carey's bodyguard just about threw me to the ground," Carpenter says. "I was standing on the carpet and they were coming through for her limousine and I was literally pushed from behind and I stumbled. I'm sure Mariah wasn't even aware of it." Too bad Carpenter doesn't have any bodyguards, "but if I did, look out," she jokes.
