Stuff I'm Listening To #86 - Don McLean - American Pie


Artist: Don McLean

Title: American Pie

Favourite Lyrics:
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died


Why?: It's always been a great song, especially the unabridged version (along with Stairway to Heaven) which almost certainly indicated, at least back in the less automated days of radio that the DJ was in desperate need of a bathroom break and here was 8 minutes in which they could do so. 

Joking aside, it's a lovely tribute to things past and gone but never forgotten.
