DON McLEANS SONG AMERICAN PIE WAS RELEASED IN 1971 AND IS NOW VIEWED AS THE DEFINING SONG OF THE DEATH OF (Charles Hardin Holley) BUDDY HOLLY, (Richard Steven Valenzuela) RICHIE VALENS & The BIG BOPPER (Jiles Perry Richardson) AND AMERICAN CULTURE OF THAT ERA AND BEYOND. THE POSTER OF THIS VIDEO ATTEMPTS TO DEFINE THE CRYPTIC LYRICS OF THE SONG BUT WCFL DJ BOB DEARBORN SUPPOSEDLY UNRAVELED THE LYRICS AND FIRST PUBLISHED HIS INTERPRETATION ON JANUARY 7, 1972, EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THE SONG REACHED No. 1 NATIONALLY. NUMEROUS OTHER INTERPRETATIONS QUICKLY FOLLOWED. McLEAN DECLINED TO SAY ANYTHING DEFINITIVE ABOUT THE LYRICS. McLEAN STATED, You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me ... Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence. Theyre beyond analysis. Theyre poetry.
