American pie might be the greatest song ever written


There are Internet pages devoted to the meaning of American Pie.

In the mid-80s, I saw Don McLean on a talk show. The host asked him about the meaning of American Pie. His answer was, “It means that I never had to do an honest days work in my life.”

Don McClean
You’re not giving him credit for being from a thin clan.

Maybe they were also tidy but you can’t assume that.



“McLean” sounds like a McDonald’s product.

Yep!
His Edmund Fitzsgerald song is haunting. Man, if only they’d made whitefish bay.

If only.

Maggie May was a great song as well.

But I think that was originally made famous by Freddie Mercury when he and D. Bowie still liked girls.

I think the bigger problem has been the death of the record industry. With streaming people no longer buy albums and it’s much harder on artists these days. I remember when Album Art was a big deal. It seems like all the big tours are from artists from the 90’s and earlier.

Photograph by Nickelback is easily a top 10 rock song of all time.
