American Pie

In Grade IV, I memorized all the lyrics of "Miss American Pie." not knowing fully well what they meant. I think I knew a bit of it now. And this YouTube attempts to be its concordance. Who is Miss American Pie? I think the documentor erred when he said she was a Miss USA candidate that Don McLean was dating. But the others were OK. McLean was selling newspaper the Day The Music Died and like Billy Joel, he gave us a capsule history of the music in the 1960s after Buddy Holly died.
