/now-hear-this-american-pie/ Cute tagline here. Tomorrow.

I love Vincent WAY more than American Pie. In fact I don’t like American Pie at all, despite really liking Don Maclean. I don’t want to say what my favorite Don Maclean song is, because then you’ll really know what a sap I am.

In high school, I was listening to this kind of stuff (in addition to some terrible, terrible Latin pop stuff and some fairly decent rap.) I remember discussing the song with some more popular kids and one of the guys made fun of me because I said the song talked about JFK. He said that it didn’t and that DUH, it was only about Buddy Holly and then everyone laughed. I am vindicated, 20 years later. LOL

At the time the song was released, Bobby Sherman and Donny Osmond were Twerk and Jerk’s equivalents. No mention. What would the sequel include? Bowie, Springsteen, Sex Pistols, Lennon’s assassination, MTV, that dancing pedophile guy, maybe Live-Aid, rock as big business, Nirvana, and then the death of rock as a business. Maybe U2 wondering where they fit in. Contemporary? Don’t see it yet. Not in the last ten years or so.
