If you are of the age when this all took place, this is an interesting journey to recall where you were when it began and where you are now, both physically and ideologically.
Take a minute to listen to the twin pipes on your Ford or Chevy V8, crank on the radio and pop the clutch letting the rear tires sing their song. Good times and bad, still the journey was fun, interesting and sad all at the same time.
'Hindsight' is always 20/20, but if you survived, then you will enjoy the song of the 'lost generation'.
American Pie
Although Don McLean only released the song in 1971, for those of us who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s this is a great piece with some very poignant moments in the history of those times.
And for those of you who did not, it’s a taste of what you missed!
I knew that "American Pie" was the name of the plane in which Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed when it crashed in February 3 rd , 1959, and I knew the chorus about music dying on that day.
I have listened and sung American Pie for many years and I thought I understood what was being sung but now realize that I didn’t!
However, when the words are put together with pictures and film clips the song takes on a new meaning.
It took a lot of thought to produce this and it brings back lots of memories and also makes the lyrics really come alive!
