Last Saturday, I took the wife to the local casiono for a sit down dinner show, featuring Don McLean. Wow! He looks older that me, even though we were born within a couple of months from each other. His voice is not what it used to be and this was obvious when he sang his iconic song, American Pie (for the youngsters, that never hear this song, here is a video).
As I (and others) were loudly singing along to American Pie, my spouse, who was born and raised outside the US, pulled my sleeve and siad, "I don't understand the song's meaning". I was floored! How can she not understand? This song defined the era of the '50's and '60's.
So, I spent some time researching the possible meaning of the verses (McLean never divulged the meaning, leaving it to the fans) and sent it to her. Hope she reads it. It will help her understand me better.
