The day the music died?
Unless you haven't visited a single news website today, you're probably aware that today is the 50th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. As tragic as "the day the music died" was, I argue that music is still alive and well. Which is a good thing.
Anyway, not much to say, but I wanted to throw up a link to an in-depth examination of Don McLean's American Pie. It includes some alternate interpretations I hadn't previously considered. Man, just when you think you've got something all figured out...
"Do you believe in rock 'n roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?"
- Don McLean, American Pie
Movie quote corollary to today's song lyric:
"'Rock 'n' roll can save the world'? 'The chicks are great'? I sound like a dick!"
- Almost Famous
