    Did you ever wonder what American Pie was about?

    Yes, I know it's about the plane crash that claimed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper in the 50's but how about all the other lyrics? Amazing detail on the song here http://www.whrc-wi.org/americanpie.htm

    I read an interview with Don McLean who sang American Pie. Interviewer asked "what was the meaning of the song?" McLean answered "it means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to!"

    I've seen the breakdown of the lyrics before.
    Interesting, loved the song until the 15,012th time I heard it, now I cringe.

    O/T Rolling Stone magazine once asked Bob Dylan what do your lyrics mean?

    He said, "I don't know, most of it is jibberish"
