Friend, I understand what you are saying, but we already know there is nothing new under the sun. We don't need a song star of the past to provide any wisdom to us or remind us that history of the evil kind does repeat itself. What a waste of time and a worldly depressing one at that.

I think this person was trying to show the history of V II repeating itself. YOU may not need a reminder but not everybody is YOU. In fact there is only one YOU. Who's to say your neighbor's eyes wouldn't be opened after having that song explained to them? Anyway, Not a big deal.

Exactly.

Who's to say your neighbor's eyes wouldn't be opened after having that song
being played backwards explained to them?!?

Did Don McLean say that that was what the song was about?

A reporter once published that he asked him what the song meant. Don McLean replied that it meant he never had to work another day in his life.

True story.

I know

If you look up Don McLean in Wikipedia, it says that "McLean declined to say anything definitive about the lyrics until 1978. Since then [he] has stated that the lyrics were also somewhat autobiographical and present an abstract stoy of his life from the mid-1950's until the time he wrote the song in the late 1960s." The common belief has been that it refers to the event whereof Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and Big Bopper went down in a plane crash on February 3, 1959.

Waylon Jennings could have done a song about that fateful plane flight, for he had
personal involvement. He gave his seat up to Richardson (Bib Bopper) because
Jennings had a cold that day, and didn't want to fly. If he had not turned his
seat over to Richardson, Jennings wouldn't be here to sing anything these days.
But Jennings has more class than that. He had to leave the subject to someone
else. That's not something he could have sung about, IMHO.
