Music: American Pie Videos

American Pie is a great song and really showed Don McLean's talent in songwriting. But transcending all that, the song really succeeded in telling the story about the music scene in the 60's and how it all changed/evolved/decayed in the 70's. And of course, the song wouldn't be written if Buddy Holly hadn't died -- the day the music died.



The songwriter carefully chose the images and symbols he used to capture his audience. The song would eventually spawn multitudes of discussions regarding the American pop culture in those decades -- even in literature classes.
