American Pie and The Day the Music Died
American Pie THAT song by Don McLean, no matter what your doing when
it comes on the radio you walk over and turn it up. For most people I
imagine they don't even understand the significance behind it, what
trigger McLean to write it or to what those strange poetic lyrics
actually refer.
rock legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (a.k.a.
Jiles Perry Richardson, Jr.) but not to the circumstances surrounding
why they were on the plane(1) and what caused it to go down(1). An interpretation of the lyrics as explained back in the 70's and
reproduced for the net, it's a fasinating read.
