One of the most popular songs in American history, 50 years later, rings pretty true. McLean postulates that music and politics are tied. Makes sense. Both shape CULTure. I have oftentimes thought about the meaning of that song, so I thought I would share this for others who have as well.  |

I remember being a little kid and the light bulb going off that it was describing music through the decades..and eventually the divisions among people that seemed to be hurting the music..or the music itself becoming a tool for people to hurt eachother..Somehow it became tied to the idea and death of democracy as it aged..Really like a prophetic poem that is true:).. |

Quoting: Me 77275337 Yes. I 'wax nostalgic' when I hear that song, and it brings a tear. I remember hearing it first when I was a very young child in the 70s. A time that I equate with innocence (though that was just me being a clueless kid.) LOL Music has changed so much since then. It feels nefarious to me, but what do I know. Same as politics. LOL I still love listening to music, but I am more careful with regard to what I listen to these days. |

Natural Law always wins in the end User ID: 24761162 United States12/28/2019 09:50 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I Love that song, for me the song is about the end of an innocent era ( the prosperity of the post war America,( Miss American Pie)), And the economic downturn ( Levy was dry) during Vietnam war draft ( this will be the day that I die), when poor high school boys, who had no chance for collage had to register for the draft and so they drank to the loos of their childhood.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 50586725 United States12/28/2019 10:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've read from several sources that Don McLean is a dick. Pretty much of an asshole. The guy wrote one great song--that's it. Quoting: Billy Ringo Don McLean's wife cites years of abuse leading to his arrest She wrote that in the early years of their marriage, McLean's rage was "unfathomably deep and scary." She said McLean's abuse often left her bruised, and that she feared for her life when she called 911 this week. "Don terrorized me for four hours, until the 911 call that I think might have saved my life," she wrote. |

I decided to make the thread and inquire regarding the magic bit because of a 'vibe' I got off of him in the interview. Seems super pompous. |

You ain't seen nothing yet! User ID: 36974242 United States12/29/2019 05:29 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | lol Heard a DJ one time say it was the song all DJ's played when they had to go to the bathroom. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |
