"Wave on Wave" Pat Green
I remembered that you did when I saw the listing on the WGMS website this morning. There's a rumor that the radio station is being sold to Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins. It's really sad because it's our last classical-only station in the Washington area.

Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine.
*As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the wind within the trees, Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.
Well if the sun shines so bright, Or on our way it's darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine.
Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on...
* Chorus
My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.
So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around my door, so fine.
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you,
You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.
When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again,
We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs,
Hear me call your name.

THE EAGLES........
Awesome !!!
I picked up their new CD, " Long Road out of Eden," and I tell you, it is like a flash back in time. Classic Eagles but yet in tune with todays music. I have heard people say that WalMart runs the world. Not So.........
WalMart wanted the exclusive rights to sell the CD. In order for them to have exclusive rights they had to release sales figures so the CD could be ranked on billboards top 100. The said they did not and were not going to release sales figures. They were told, No figures, No exclusive rights!
They caved in and agreed. Eagles rule, not Walmart ;D
I see where over 700,00 copies were sold the first week. And the price is reasonable at $11.99.
Have a great weekend everyone. If you get a chance stop by the "Hotel California", there's a room waiting for you. ;)

Just finished watching John Fogerty - the long road home from 2005.
What a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me. I think he almost sang every single hit from his days as CCR's front-man, as well as many of his own. And I have never seen so many different guitars as the ones he used during this show. I swear when he played "Center-Field" the man was playing a baseball bat!
I would highly recommend this show to anyone that grew up listening to CCR, or anyone that haas discovered this music today. I don't know if it available on DVD or not but if it is, it's going into my library!
I saw it on MHD, in HD of course. And if it's on again I'm going to dvr it. It's great! 8)
Premonition is a real good one even better than The Long Road Home. We have them both.

This was a DVD of some of his live performances. And you're right, he did look half asleep. There were some real good songs on it but I wish someone else had been doing them.... :yes:

Just finished watching a little production called "Raising Sand" which features Robert Plant and Alison Krause. It was them performing the songs from this cd live on the MHD channel's "Cross Roads" series.
The idea is bring bring artists together from different genres of music and have them perform. (I really am growing quite fond of this programming). These two made a series of recordings and released it.
I have to say I like several of the songs, but I had several moments of surrealism during this production. I mean, to hear the opening of "Black Dog" on a banjo; and to hear Krause sing "When the Levee Breaks" to a slower bouncy beat. . . I liked it but I found myself looking for the original within the new if you know what I mean. And I found it several times. Just not where I expected it to be.
I really like Krause's work and love to hear her voice. I guess the thing with Plant worked, but it was certainly not what I was expecting from either of them.
Nice change of pace though, and brought new to the old in ways I'd have never thought possible. You might give it a listen sometime. . .
EDIT:
Okay, that was too easy. I just went to I Tunes, bought it for 10 bucks, and the disc is burning right now. 8) Saved 7 bucks!
I guess the Zep tunes were a live performance only. (That's a good thing though). :biggrin:
i'm listening to the judge give her summary judgment ruling. i will try to listen and learn something.......hahahaha!
btw, i'm not surprised that allison krause would sound good singing "black dog" and "when the levy breaks". bluegrass is just hillbilly blues. and those songs were written by old blues guys.

Ya know, these Raccoons are huge. I'd say they probably weigh in somewhere around 30 lbs. or more. They aren't a bit afraid of anything. When I go out the deck door, I'm careful... I don't think they would ever jump at me,but I'm not taking any chances. They are aggressive towards the Opossums though. I've seen them chase them off the deck. The Opossums are very docile,and they scare very easily. I have seen them hiss before, and they can be quite scary when they do that. Their mouths have several rows of jagged sharp teeth. I liken them to Jaws LOL!!! :spooked:

I can't even begin to imagine the loss of a child. I honestly can't think of anything more devastating. Everyone says that time will make losing someone...easier...but I don't think so. I think you'll always miss them. Especially your child.

I agree with you. It never gets easier ... you just learn to go about your life and deal with the void. Some days, it's tolerable ... some days, it's not.

Indeed. 19 years later I still find this to be very true. About the only thing that changes is your ability to get through it without negatively impacting those around you; but even now that can sometimes be very challenging. . . :'(
I'm sorry for your loss.
It took a long time for me to get to the point to where I #1 didn't blame myself; #2 could continue to be a good mother to my older child; #3 not cry every time I saw another baby.
My younger sister gave birth to her baby girl 2 months after I gave birth to mine. The difference? Hers was alive. I tried to be happy. I even threw her a baby shower ... and ended up outside crying the whole time.
Who will ever understand why a child would be taken off the face of the earth .. never getting to live his/her life. Some people are just evil and live to a ripe old age! It doesn't seem fair. I choose to believe that these children are just too special to be forced to endure the troubles and evils of the world. Maybe that is my comfort.

I understand where you're coming from to an extent. I had a miscarriage early in my pregnancy. We we're sooo excited when we found out we were going to have a baby. It took us a while to get pregnant. It took me a week to lose my baby. I don't know why but my body just didn't want to let go. Then we found out the chances of a full term baby were very slim, and after surviving that nightmare, we didn't want to try again. Even the loss of an early pregnancy is devastating. My child would have been 9 last May. You always think about the what ifs. :'(

Pandora Radio
You can create your own 'stations' simply by entering an artist name of a song. Then they play songs by that artist and others like it. You can fine-tune it by skipping songs you don't like and 'voting' thumps up or down to each song.
I have created several 'stations'
The one I am listening to now is my 'Charlie Parker' station.
Think I'll give that a try...gonna check out the Wilson Pickett one and also some Otis Redding... :yes:

I think Otis Redding was a prophet, expressing the deepest of human emotions. Even though most of his songs were sad, I always left his music feeling better.

Heck we just got done eating 'cause the company just left and they had already eaten at Ryan's and weren't hungry and we didn't want to eat in front of them. If we had had supper at the regular time we would have been done already though when they got here. Guess thats what we get for taking a nap though... :rolleyes:

Yeah, and it is likely to remain that way for some time to come. To be honest I am amazed that the builder is still around. I guess the Fishers subdivision did fairly well this year, building around 10-12 units, so that must have generated enough revenue to keep the builder in business. . .

:clap: :music1: Loved it! What a great band! I haven't listened to Springsteen in quite a while. There's an article about him in today's Washington Post (FREE for ALL page), written by a member of the E Street Band:
How the Boss maximizes spontaneity
Published: April 6, 2012
Your March 31 Style article "The Boss rocks out with a teleprompter. Can you roll with it?" left out some important points.
On the last E Street Band tour ("Working on a Dream"), we played 192 different songs. Dozens of those songs were from request signs that Bruce Springsteen would collect from the audience and dump in front of the drum riser. He would then rifle through them, sailing them around him until he found a song to attempt — much like a college kid rummaging through a pile of dirty laundry in search of one clean shirt.
Many songs were covers we had never performed live. Ever! He would show us the sign and then immediately "frisbee" it down the stairs to the teleprompter crew to surf the Net and find the lyrics while we all talked up a quick arrangement at his microphone, knowing he'd be counting it off in 20 seconds.
Many of those audibles were Bruce songs unrehearsed or played in years or decades. These audibles, enhanced by our collective musical memory, hand signals and teleprompter, allow for those ambitious, ad lib moments and an inspired, musical recklessness I believe is unique to our shows.
These points might have brought some additional perspective to your article. In our case, the teleprompter has a much more ambitious use and purpose than your article indicated.

I just listened to Don Mcleans "American Pie"
Now, I know it is about Buddy Holly's death...but those words are either REALLY deep or just plain goofy. I think Mclain is probably very very deep and emotional with this song...but to read those words make one wonder, just how he came up with them...
Not knocking it at all, just an obseration...
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
...
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
they were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die

Saw him in a live concert on TV the other night. He looked and sounded terrible. I hate it when old rockers never come out with any new stuff and just go around singing their same two or three hits for 40 years.
Anyway, I tend to agree with you.
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1193
According to McLean (as posted on his website), this song was originally inspired by the death of Buddy Holly. "The Day The Music Died" is February 3, 1959, when Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash after a concert. McLean wrote the song from his memories of the event. The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album was a huge influence, and McLean has said in numerous interviews that the song represented the turn from innocence of the '50s to the darker, more volatile times of the '60s - both in music and politics.
McLean was a paperboy when Holly died. He learned about the plane crash when he cut into his stack of papers and saw the lead story.
Talking about how he composed this song when he was a guest on the UK show Songbook, McLean explained: "For some reason I wanted to write a big song about America and about politics, but I wanted to do it in a different way. As I was fiddling around, I started singing this thing about the Buddy Holly crash, the thing that came out (singing), 'Long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.'
I thought, Whoa, what's that? And then the day the music died, it just came out. And I said, Oh, that is such a great idea. And so that's all I had. And then I thought, I can't have another slow song on this record. I've got to speed this up. I came up with this chorus, crazy chorus. And then one time about a month later I just woke up and wrote the other five verses. Because I realized what it was, I knew what I had. And basically, all I had to do was speed up the slow verse with the chorus and then slow down the last verse so it was like the first verse, and then tell the story, which was a dream. It is from all these fantasies, all these memories that I made personal. Buddy Holly's death to me was a personal tragedy. As a child, a 15-year-old, I had no idea that nobody else felt that way much. I mean, I went to school and mentioned it and they said, 'So what?' So I carried this yearning and longing, if you will, this weird sadness that would overtake me when I would look at this album, The Buddy Holly Story, because that was my last Buddy record before he passed away."
This song made McLean very famous very quickly, which was very difficult for the songwriter. McLean was prone to depression, losing his father at age 15 and dealing with a bad marriage when recording the album. So when the song hit, it thrust him into the spotlight and took the focus away from the body of his work. In a 1973 interview with NME, he explained: "I was headed on a certain course, and the success I got with 'American Pie' really threw me off. It just shattered my lifestyle and made me quite neurotic and extremely petulant. I was really prickly for a long time. If the things you're doing aren't increasing your energy and awareness and clarity and enjoyment, then you feel as though you're moving blindly. That's what happened to me. I seemed to be in a place where nothing felt like anything, and nothing meant anything. Literally nothing mattered. It was very hard for me to wake up in the morning and decide why it was I wanted to get up."
Contrary to rumors, the plane that crashed was not named the "American Pie" - Dwyer's Flying Service did not name their planes. McLean made up the name.
McLean admits that this song is about Buddy Holly, but has never said what the lyrics are about, preferring to let listeners interpret them on their own. In these next few Songfacts, we'll take a look at some logical interpretations: "The Jester" is probably Bob Dylan. It refers to him wearing "A coat he borrowed from James Dean," and being "On the sidelines in a cast." Dylan wore a red jacket similar to James Dean's on the cover of The Freewheeling Bob Dylan, and got in a motorcycle accident in 1966 which put him out of service for most of that year. Dylan also made frequent use of jokers, jesters or clowns in his lyrics. The line, "And a voice that came from you and me" could refer to the Folk style he sings, and the line, "And while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown" could be about how Dylan took Elvis Presley's place as the number one performer.
The line "Eight miles high and falling fast" is likely a reference to The Byrds' hit "Eight Miles High."
The section with the line "The flames climbed high into the night" is probably about the Altamont Speedway concert in 1969. While the Rolling Stones were playing, a fan was stabbed to death by a member of The Hell's Angels who was hired for security.
The line "Sergeants played a marching tune" is likely a reference to The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The line "I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away" is probably about Janis Joplin. She died of a drug overdose in 1970.
The lyric "And while Lenin/Lennon read a book on Marx" has been interpreted different ways. Some view it as a reference to Vladimir Lenin, the communist dictator who led the Russian Revolution in 1917 and who built the USSR, which was later ruled by Josef Stalin. The "Marx" referred to here would be the socialist philosopher Karl Marx. Others believe it is about John Lennon, whose songs often reflected a very communistic theology (particularly "Imagine"). Some have even suggested that in the latter case, "Marx" is actually Groucho Marx, another cynical entertainer who was suspected of being a socialist, and whose wordplay was often similar to Lennon's lyrics.
"Did you write the book of love" is probably a reference to the 1958 hit "Book of Love" by the Monotones. The chorus for that song is "Who wrote the book of love? Tell me, tell me... I wonder, wonder who" etc. One of the lines asks, "Was it someone from above?" Don McLean was a practicing Catholic, and believed in the depravity of '60s music, hence the closing lyric: "The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died." Some, have postulated that in this line, the Trinity represents Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)
Some more interpretations:
"And moss grows fat on our rolling stone" - Mick Jagger's appearance at a concert in skin-tight outfits, displaying a roll of fat, unusual for the skinny Stones frontman.
"The quartet practiced in the park" - The Beatles singing at Shea Stadium.
"And we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died" - The 60's peace marches.
"Helter Skelter in a summer swelter" - The Manson Family's attack on Sharon Tate and others in California.
"We all got up to dance, Oh, but we never got the chance, 'cause the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield" - The huge numbers of young people who went to Chicago for the 1968 Democratic Party National Convention, and who thought they would be part of the process ("the players tried to take the field"), only to receive a violently rude awakening by the Chicago Police Department nightsticks (the commissions who studied the violence after-the-fact would later term the Chicago PD as "conducting a full-scale police riot") or as McLean calls the police "the marching band."
Madonna covered this in 2000 for the movie The Next Best Thing. Her version topped the UK charts and peaked at #29 in the US. It was her friend, the English actor Rupert Everett, who suggested Madonna record a cover of this song and sang backup on her version.
On January 29, 2007 Madonna's recording was voted the worst ever cover version in a poll by BBC 6 Music. Despite the critical derision, McLean had good things to say about Madonna's cover, and he released this statement: "Madonna is a colossus in the music industry and she is going to be considered an important historical figure as well. She is a fine singer, a fine songwriter and record producer, and she has the power to guarantee success with any song she chooses to record. It is a gift for her to have recorded 'American Pie.' I have heard her version and I think it is sensual and mystical. I also feel that she's chosen autobiographical verses that reflect her career and personal history. I hope it will cause people to ask what's happening to music in America. I have received many gifts from God but this is the first time I have ever received a gift from a goddess."
Madonna was supposed to perform her version at the Super Bowl in 2001, but backed out, claiming she did not have enough time to prepare. No one was too upset. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England and Bertrand - Paris, France)
At 8 minutes 33 seconds, this is the longest song in length to hit #1 on the Hot 100. The single was split in two parts because the 45 did not have enough room for the whole song on one side. The A-side ran 4:11 and the B-side was 4:31 - you had to flip the record in the middle to hear all of it. Disc jockeys usually played the album version at full length, which was to their benefit because it gave them time for a snack, a cigarette or a bathroom break.
In 1971, a singer named Lori Lieberman saw McLean perform this at the Troubadour theater in Los Angeles. She claimed that she was so moved by the concert that her experience became the basis for her song "Killing Me Softly With His Song," which was a huge hit for Roberta Flack in 1973. When we spoke with Charles Fox, who wrote "Killing Me Softly" with Norman Gimbel, he explained that when Lieberman heard their song, it reminded her of the show, and she had nothing to do with writing the song.
McLean (from his website): "I'm very proud of the song. It is biographical in nature and I don't think anyone has ever picked up on that. The song starts off with my memories of the death of Buddy Holly. But it moves on to describe America as I was seeing it and how I was fantasizing it might become, so it's part reality and part fantasy but I'm always in the song as a witness or as even the subject sometimes in some of the verses. You know how when you dream something you can see something change into something else and it's illogical when you examine it in the morning but when you're dreaming it seems perfectly logical. So it's perfectly okay for me to talk about being in the gym and seeing this girl dancing with someone else and suddenly have this become this other thing that this verse becomes and moving on just like that. That's why I've never analyzed the lyrics to the song. They're beyond analysis. They're poetry." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
This song did a great deal to revive interest in Buddy Holly. Says McLean: "By 1964, you didn't hear anything about Buddy Holly. He was completely forgotten. But I didn't forget him, and I think this song helped make people aware that Buddy's legitimate musical contribution had been overlooked. When I first heard 'American Pie' on the radio, I was playing a gig somewhere, and it was immediately followed by 'Peggy Sue.' They caught right on to the Holly connection, and that made me very happy. I realized that it was actually gonna perform some good works."
In 2002, this was featured in a Chevrolet ad. It showed a guy in his Chevy singing along to the end of this song. At the end, he gets out and it is clear that he was not going to leave the car until the song was over. The ad played up the heritage of Chevrolet, which has a history of being mentioned in famous songs (the line in this one is "Drove my Chevy to the levee"). Chevy used the same idea a year earlier when it ran billboards of a red Corvette that said, "They don't write songs about Volvos."
Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of this song for his 1999 album Running With Scissors. It was called "The Saga Begins" and was about Star Wars: The Phantom Menace written from the point of view of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Sample lyric: "Bye, bye this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader someday later but now just a small fry."
It was the second Star Wars themed parody for Weird Al - his first being "Yoda," which is a takeoff on "Lola" by The Kinks. Al admitted that he wrote "The Saga Begins" before the movie came out, entirely based on Internet rumors.
While being interviewed in the 1980s, McLean was asked for probably the 1000th time "What does the song American Pie mean to you?," to which he answered, "It means never having to work again for the rest of my life." (thanks, Dan - Auckland, New Zealand)
Regarding the line, "The birds (Byrds) flew off from a fallout shelter," a fallout shelter is a '60s term for a drug rehabilitation facility, which one of the band members of The Byrds checked into after being caught with drugs. (thanks, john - washington, DC)
The line "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle stick" is taken from a nursery rhyme that goes "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick." Jumping over the candlestick comes from a game where people would jump over fires. "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a Rolling Stones song. Another possible reference to The Stones can be found in the line, "Fire is the devils only friend," which could be The Rolling Stones "Sympathy For The Devil," which is on the same Rolling Stones album. (thanks, Ben - Schelle, Belgium)
When the original was written at a whopping 8 minutes 38 seconds, some radio stations in the United States refused to play it because of a policy limiting airplay to 3:30. Some interpret the song as a protest against this policy. When Madonna covered the song many years later she cut huge swathes of the song, ironically to make it more radio friendly, to 4:34 on the album and under 4 minutes for the radio edit. (thanks, Anton - Cambridge, England)
The words, "You know a rolling stone don't gather no moss" appear in the Buddy Holly song "Early in the Morning," which is about his ex missing him early in the morning when he's gone. (thanks, Cait - Athens, OH)
Regarding the lyrics, "Jack Flash sat on a candlestick, 'cause fire is the devil's only friend," this is a reference to the space program, and to the role it played in the Cold War between America and Russia throughout the '60s. It is central to McLean's theme of the blending of the political turmoil and musical protest as they intertwined through our lives during this remarkable point in history. Thus, the reference incorporates Jack Flash (the Rolling Stones), with our first astronaut to orbit the earth, John (common nickname for John is Jack) Glenn, paired with "Flash" an allusion to fire, with another image for a rocket launch, "candlestick," then pulls the whole theme together with "'cause fire is the Devil's (Russia's) only friend" (as Russia had beaten us to manned orbital flight. (thanks, Lynn - Denver, CO)
Fans still make the occasional pilgrimage to the spot of the plane crash that inspired this song. See the memorial at the site in Song Images.
The song starts in mono, and gradually goes to stereo over its 8 and a half minutes. This was done to represent going from the monaural era into the age of stereo.
Contrary to local lore, McLean neither wrote "American Pie" on cocktail napkins at the Tin and Lint in Saratoga Springs, New York, nor debuted it on stage at Caffe Lena, a famous coffeehouse around the corner from the bar. Speaking to Saratoga newspaper The Post-Star in November 2011, McLean disclosed that he penned the song in Philadelphia and performed it for the first time at Temple University, where he was billed to perform with Laura Nyro. "I have heard this for years. I guess you can't really control these things, but these are both not true. That is from the horse's mouth that's exactly what happened," McLean said. "Unfortunately Caffe Lena or Saratoga Springs - neither of those places can lay claim to anything with regard to 'American Pie.'"

"American Pie" By Don McLean
The entire song is a tribute to Buddy Holly and a commentary on how rock and roll music changed in the years since his death. McLean is lamenting the lack of "danceable" good time party music in rock and roll and (in part) attributing that lack to the absence of Buddy Holly et. al.
(Verse 1)
A long, long time ago...
"American Pie" reached #1 in the U.S. in 1972; the album containing it was released in 1971. Buddy Holly died in 1959.
I can still remember how That music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, That I could make those people dance, And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
One of early rock and roll's functions was to provide dance music for various social events. McLean recalls his desire to become a musician playing that sort of music.
But February made me shiver,
Buddy Holly died on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash in Iowa during a snowstorm.
With every paper I'd deliver,
Don McLean's only job before becoming a full-time singer-songwriter was being a paperboy.
Bad news on the doorstep... I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride
Holly's recent bride was pregnant when the crash took place; she had a miscarriage shortly afterward.
But something touched me deep inside, The day the music died.
The same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also took the lives of Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"). Since all three were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959 became known as "The Day The Music Died".
So...
(Refrain) Bye bye Miss American Pie,
Don McLean dated a Miss America candidate during the pageant.
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die."
One of Holly's hits was "That'll be the Day"; the chorus contains the line "That'll be the day that I die".
(Verse 2)
Did you write the book of love,
"The Book of Love" by the Monotones was a hit in 1958.
And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so?
There's also an old Sunday School song which goes: "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so"
Now do you believe in rock 'n roll?
The Lovin' Spoonful had a hit in 1965 with John Sebastian's "Do you Believe in Magic?". The song has the lines: "Do you believe in magic" and "It's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll."
Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Dancing slow was an important part of early rock and roll dance events -- but declined in importance through the 60's as things like psychedelia and the 10-minute guitar solo gained prominence.
Well I know you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
Back then, dancing was an expression of love, and carried a connotation of committment. Dance partners were not so readily exchanged as they would be later.
You both kicked off your shoes
A reference to the beloved "sock hop". (Street shoes tear up wooden basketball floors, so dancers had to take off their shoes.)
Man, I dig those rhythm 'n' blues
Some history. Before the popularity of rock and roll, music, like much else in the U. S., was highly segregated. The popular music of black performers for largely black audiences was called, first, "race music," later rhythm and blues. In the early 50s, as they were exposed to it through radio personalities such as Allan Freed, white teenagers began listening, too. Starting around 1954, a number of songs from the rhythm and blues charts began appearing on the overall popular charts as well, but usually in cover versions by established white artists, (e. g. "Shake Rattle and Roll", Joe Turner, covered by Bill Haley; "Sh-Boom", the Chords, covered by the Crew-Cuts; "Sincerely", the Moonglows, covered by the Mc Guire Sisters; Tweedle Dee, LaVerne Baker, covered by Georgia Gibbs). By 1955, some of the rhythm and blues artists, like Fats Domino and Little Richard were able to get records on the overall pop charts. In 1956 Sun records added elements of country and western to produce the kind of rock and roll tradition that produced Buddy Holly.
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
"A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)", was a hit for Marty Robbins in 1957. The pickup truck has endured as a symbol of sexual independence and potency, especially in a Texas context.
But I knew that I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing...
Refrain
(Verse 3)
Now for ten years we've been on our own
McLean was writing this song in the late 60's, about ten years after the crash.
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
Rolling Stone Magazine
But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King and Queen
The jester is Bob Dylan, as will become clear later. Elvis Presley is the king, which seems pretty obvious. The queen COULD be either Connie Francis, Little Richard, or someone else.
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In the movie "Rebel Without a Cause", James Dean has a red windbreaker that holds symbolic meaning throughout the film. In one particularly intense scene, Dean lends his coat to a guy who is shot and killed; Dean's father arrives, sees the coat on the dead man, thinks it's Dean, and loses it. On the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Dylan is wearing just such as red windbreaker, and is posed in a street scene similar to one shown in a well-known picture of James Dean.
And a voice that came from you and me
Bob Dylan's roots are in American folk music, with people like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. Folk music is by definition the music of the masses, hence the "...came from you and me".
Oh, and while the King was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown
A reference to Elvis's decline and Dylan's ascendance. (i.e. Presley is looking down from a height as Dylan takes his place.) The thorny crown a reference to the price of fame. Dylan has said that he wanted to be as famous as Elvis, one of his early idols.
The courtroom was adjourned, No verdict was returned.
The trial of the Chicago Seven.
And while Lennon read a book on Marx,
Literally, John Lennon reading about Karl Marx; figuratively, the introduction of radical politics into the music of the Beatles. The "Marx-Lennon" wordplay has also been used by others, most notably the Firesign Theatre on the cover of their album How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?
The quartet practiced in the park
The Beatles.
And we sang dirges in the dark
A reference to some of the new "art rock" groups which played long pieces not meant for dancing OR a reference to The Door's song "Light My Fire" which said "... a funeral pyer..." in one line.
The day the music died. We were singing...
Refrain
(Verse 4)
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
"Helter Skelter" is a Beatles song which appears on the White album. Charles Manson, claiming to have been "inspired" by the song (through which he thought God and/or the devil were taking to him) led his followers in the Tate-LaBianca murders. "Summer swelter" a reference to the "long hot summer" of Watts.
The birds flew off with the fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast
The Byrd's "Eight Miles High" was on their late 1966 release "Fifth Dimension." It was one of the first records to be widely banned because of supposedly drug-oriented lyrics.
It landed foul on the grass
One of the Byrds was busted for possesion of marijuana.
The players tried for a forward pass
Obviously a football metaphor about the Rolling Stones, i.e. they were waiting for an opening which really didn't happen until the Beatles broke up.
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
On July 29, 1966, Dylan crashed his Triumph motorcycle while riding near his home in Woodstock, New York. He spent nine months in seclusion while recuperating from the accident.
Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
This line and the next few refer to the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The "sweet perfume" is tear gas.
While sergeants played a marching tune
The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" music in general as "marching" because it's not music for dancing. But music with a message to which we march.
We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance
The Beatles' 1966 Candlestick Park concert only lasted 35 minutes and there wasn't any music to dance to OR due to the break-up of The Beatles.
'Cause the players tried to take the field, The marching band refused to yield.
A reference to the dominance of the Beatles on the rock and roll scene. For instance, the Beach Boys released "Pet Sounds" in 1966 -- an album which featured some of the same sort of studio and electronic experimentation as "Sgt. Pepper" (1967) -- but the album sold poorly. It's a comment about how the dominance of the Beatles in the rock world led to more "pop art" music, leading in turn to a dearth of traditional rock and roll.
Do you recall what was revealed, The day the music died? We started singing
Refrain
(Verse 5)
And there we were all in one place
Woodstock.
A generation lost in space
A reference to the "famous" (and horrible) 60s TV "Lost In Space."
With no time left to start again
The "lost generation" spent too much time being stoned, and had wasted their lives.
So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick
A reference to Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones; "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was released in May, 1968.
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
The Stones' Candlestick park concert.
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
The Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil."
And as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in hell Could break that satan's spell
While playing a concert at the Altamont Speedway in 1969, the Stones appointed members of the Hell's Angels to work security. In the darkness near the front of the stage, a young man named Meredith Hunter was beaten and stabbed to death -- by the Angels. Public outcry that the song "Sympathy for the Devil" had somehow incited the violence caused the Stones to drop the song from their show for the next six years.
And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite
About Altamont, and in particular Mick Jagger's prancing and posing while it was happening. The sacrifice is Meredith Hunter, and the bonfires around the area provide the flames.
I saw satan laughing with delight
Satan would be Jagger.
The day the music died He was singing...
Refrain
(Verse 6)
I met a girl who sang the blues
Janis Joplin.
And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away
Janis died of an accidental heroin overdose on October 4, 1970.
I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before
The "sacred store" was Bill Graham's Fillmore West, one of the great rock and roll venues of all time.
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Nobody is interested in hearing Buddy Holly et.al.'s music.
And in the streets the children screamed
"Flower children" being beaten by police and National Guard troops; in particular, perhaps, the People's Park riots in Berkeley in 1969 and 1970.
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
The trend towards psychedelic music in the 60's.
But not a word was spoken, The church bells all were broken
The broken bells are the dead musicians: neither can produce any more music.
And the three men I admire most The Father Son and Holy Ghost
Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Richie Valens.
They caught the last train for the coast
A way of saying that they had left the scene (or died -- "went west" as a synonym for dying).
The day the music died And they were singing...
Refrain (2x)

OK ... a challenge for you .... interpret this....
I. Cord Of Life
A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream,
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Turn round tailor, Coins and
Assaulting all the mornings of the Crosses
Interest shown, Never know
Presenting one another to the cord, Their fruitless worth;
All left dying, rediscovered Cords are broken,
Of the door that turned round, Locked inside
To close the cover, the mother earth.
All the interest shown, They won't
To turn one another, to the sign Hide, hold, they won't
At the time Tell you, watching the world,
To float your climb. Watching all of the world,
Watching us go by.
And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.
II. Eclipse
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
As a movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the side of seeds of life with you.
III. The Preacher the Teacher
Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you.
I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me.
The preacher trained in all to lose his name;
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same.
In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalise
That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
As a moment regained and regarded both the same,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you.
IV. Apocalypse
And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.
:biggrin:

In a strange sort of way, I follow what your logic. Though I like some of SRV's stuff, he was no Albert Collins, but to say he was the ruination and racist may be a bit extreme....I think there are many above him, and I will say that Eric Clapton can be sitting right in smack in the middle of the best of the greatest ever, and not think race has anything to do with it. He is just damn good. I love listening to the blues!

Yeah. As I recall from back in the day, he appeared "weathered" even then. I attributed it to "better living through chemistry" and I guess he must have been using the same chemist as Keith Richards. :biggrin:

I'll have to show that to my better half he likes Robin too. The guitar player who replaced him in Procol Harum is ok but he say's he's no Robin Trower.

Here are the words too.
You must be cautious, you must always be learning,
And you must tread lightly in front of powers that be...
You must see the sun rise with a feeling of wonder
Never forgetting what it means to be free.
And you must have courage, you must be curious,
You must try absorbing all the things that you can see...
You can search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word,
If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free".
There is talk of compassion,
But it hides from the hardened,
And it runs like a quarry
From a senseless kill...
And you must find meaning in things you've been ignoring
And you will learn lessons that help a soul to be free.
There is talk of compassion
But it hides from the hardened,
And it runs like a quarry
From a senseless kill...
You will find lessons for the teaching and the learning
And you will walk prouder 'cause you will be free...
Your eyes will be brighter 'cause you will be free...
You can search for a lifetime for the meaning of one word
If you were to pick one word, that word should be "free

I have never liked modern country music, but I was surfing the channels and stopped on Palladia the other night. They were showing an interview with Jennifer Nettles talking about her CD "That Girl" interspersed with songs. I was immediately hooked!!! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
Last night I spent about 3 hours listening to what you might call 'the best of Pavarotti '-- on a PBS fund-raising program. :smitten: :music1: Ranged from a love song from Aida to "Holy Mother" with Eric Clapton.
When I think of Pavarotti, I also think of my Old English Sheepdog, Patch, who died when she was 13. She sang along with him -- a rather soft high-pitched whine -- never did that with any other singer or music.
Listening to Chicago- Could You Leave Me Now!!!! :drummer: :drummer: :drummer: :drummer:
"The essential" by James Taylor that a co-worker bought for me for Christmas.
Listening to James Taylor and Paul Simon plus Donald Fagen!
Listening to Bush
Frank Zappa
Nothing 'cept the fridge running.
Just finished listening to this. All I can say is wow.....

I miss this thread -- so decided to try to revive it.
Just finished watching the Maryland Public TV Memorial Day program -- about 2 1/2 hours. Even though it was raining, there was a big crowd there. Arlington Cemetery. All those crosses. :'( I cried through most of it -- not a lot of talking, no politics, old military men and families, lots of music -- the National Anthem, patriotic songs learned in grade school, the military songs, The Battle Hymn of the Republic (which always gets to me).
The soothing hum of the air conditioning as it passes through the vent above my chair and wafts down to sooth me. . .
The silence is a welcome diversion. . .
Mozart: The Magic Flute. :music1:
Arianna Grande singer for President Obama. "I have Nothing" by Witney Houston. Fantastic job.

The Argentina vs US soccer game.
The rhythmic sound of the rain on the cars in the parking lot while I sit on my covered balcony enjoying it.
PBS News Hour.
Damn liberal that I am! :biggrin:
Watching our local news for the weather.
Just finished listening to about an hour of The Highwaymen Live at Nassau Coliseum (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson) on Maryland PBS -- one of their fundraising programs. And it was great! :music1: :guitarist:

Drive, "who going to drive you home tonight" by the CARS. I did on YouTube a couple a nights ago and boy did I get an ear worm. It's still in head. :yes: :biggrin:
Watching and listening to Florida State football. ;D
Antique Road Show....
Watching a show from Discovery or History channel called Forged in Fire. It is pretty interesting to watch men and women make knives and other tools or weapons from steel or metal.
