It is one of the greatest tunes of all time, one that has been parked in my personal all time top 25 for decades. I own the album, and give it an American thumbs up! It is American Pie, by Don McLean.
Like many, I thought the this song was about the death of Buddy Holly; the day the music died. While that may be part of it, Glenn Beck had a most interesting discussion about what the lyrics really talk about. I found the conversation stirring. Take a listen:
America is eight miles high and falling fast, and until hearing from Don McLean on the subject, I conclude the assessment made by Beck is on the mark as there are way to many associations made for it to be accidental. It makes the song all the more brilliant.
Tonight, for Sunday Night Song, it is Don McLean and American Pie
Are events along this line happening all over again? Over at Noisy Room, Terresa Monroe-Hamilton correctly makes the case they are, and you need to know it.
