The meaning behind the lyrics of Don McLean’s American Pie. Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, War & Peace, drugs, murder, Hell’s Angels and the Rolling Stones. And, of course Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.

I think that the Lennon part is referring to Vladimir Lenin. Because he read The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.
Hi Friends,
I’ve been working on a new blog called “DylanTube - The best Bob Dylan videos”. dylantube. wordpress. com . It is basically a categorized collection of Bob Dylan videos I have found on YouTube. I hand pick the videos and write my thoughts about them while watching and then post it up on the blog.
Thank you for reading and I hope to talk to you soon.

I think he was talking about Lennon w/ Lenin being part of the word play. It just seems to fit the context of the song better. But who knows? Interp is usually tough w/ lyrics.
You had a picture of John Lennon up when it talked about reading the books of Marx. But I’m pretty sure he meant Lenin.
bye bye miss american pie!
ew years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours? later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me

Dead. Dead as a doornail. “This will be the day that I die.”
Everyone has their own opinions so we should respect each other’s opinions and not argue about it.
No, that is a very misleading lie.
wasnt american pie the name of the plane
miss american pie: my opinion is the term “as american as mom’s apple pie”. chevy’s ad slogan was “see the usa in a chevrolet” mostly aired on the dinah shore show.
the lovers cried and the poets dreamed.

I’ve sang that song since I was 2 (I’m 11 now, it’s amazing that there are children out there who appreciate this time period and will never let it die as long as they live.
