Don McClean: AOWG?

It's not like he wrote a lot of great songs beyond American Pie. He is probably close to being considered a one hit wonder. That being said, it's one heck of a song.
Seems like an angry old white guy.

American pie might be the greatest song ever written

He's 100% right.
Millinials and Auto tune have ruined this country.

Seems like he hit the nail on the head.

Oh I'm just kidding fellas...
With the lack of real talent these days we truly need AutoTune.

One of the greatest covers ever too on "Crying"

He's correct that there is garbage on the radio, but if he looks beyond radio he'll find better.

One hit wonders have one more hit than 99.9% of musicians ever do.

Fun fact:
American Pie is so long that it doesn’t fit on one side of a 45 record.
Some people would buy 2 copies so that they can listen to the entire song in one sitting with their automatic record changers.

Empty Chairs inspired one of the greatest ballads of all time.

It was about his lost youth more than it was about music going downhill.

The music doesn't mean anything. The music reflects the spiritual nature of the society. We have a kind of a nihilistic society now," McLean told the host. "No one believes in anything, no one likes anything, no one has any respect for anything much. The music shows that.
Hesgot a point. It's a very materialistic, superficial time. Meaning has been stripped from most of our lives. We are a voyeuristic socitity deriving pleasure from external, not internal things.
It's reflected in art.
