I love that he has always resisted telling his fans what the lyrics mean. There was one interview he gave where he said "you want to know what the lyrics mean? OK, I will tell you. They mean I have never had to work a day job in my life."

I do love 'American Pie', but my favorite Don McLean song is the beautiful and hauntingly introspective "Starry Night". Thanks Don!

Most people who were around in the 50's and 60's understand the symbolism of the lyrics of this masterpiece. However,

He seems like a great guy. It's always incredible to see the human side of people who appear larger than life because of their talents or their accomplishments. He's just a regular guy...who probably has some great stories. Thanks, Don, for the music.

I always was fascinated how Don wrote this song you can read the story word for word and just see how it started to build into the future it would change Don’s and many others’ lives.

That interview was good.

What a humble man he is. Totally genuine and his talent will breed thousands more talents for other artists.

I was 15 when American Pie was released and I liked it a lot, but Vincent was my favorite song from that album. It just touched me in a deeper, more emotional way.

I just so happen to go to the Tin and Lint Bar in Saratoga Springs, NY, with an old friend and as we were sitting in a random booth noticed a small brass plaque on the wall commemorating the writing of the song right there. We asked the bartender and were told the whole story. It stirred up conversation for sure! :)

A great-and very special tribute song-and i can imagine Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens-all looking down and smiling-with thumbs up to Don.!
