song*ography | american pie ...



Two weekends ago my husband and I were taking our son back to school and 'American Pie' came on the radio. 
 The moans, the groans, 
the "OMG how long is this song?" filtered from the backseat. 

"You do know what this song is about, right?" 
 "It's about the death of music ... probably killed by how LONG this song is!" 

"No, it was about when the songwriter's music idol was killed in a plane crash." 
"Well, that's sad, but it's still too long!"


 *note to self: considering my eulogy will be written by my children, it will be short and to the point. 

"Mom was da bomb! LOL! 
She lived a good life 4 sure 
and [heart] her family 
and pets. 
Peace out!"

    Kids these days just don't have any sense of what "good" music really is. - Yes it was a long......song but a good one.
    I'm loving the photo you shared though. Has that "James Dean" look to it.

    As far as i know Don Mclean has never actually talked about what the song lyrics mean but I could be wrong about that. I think this is a great image for this part of the song. Really cool image

      He once mentioned that Holly's death was the inspiration, the lyrics on the other hand - he didn't elaborate on. Except this week - he spoke about what it meant AND apparently the lyrics sold for over a million dollars.

    I saw in the paper this morning that they sold his original papers for $1.2 mil. Nice for him! And I heard he said when asked what the song meant that it meant he wouldn't have to work anymore. LOL.
