Musings on American Pie

Welcome

This is my first website, about Don McLean's iconic 1971 opus, "American Pie", and its meaning and my interpretation. I hope to help contribute to discussion on such a brilliant song. Currently, it's just a collection of links and files, but the dream is to build the site into a good source of information on the song. And I think it's going well. There's lots of things under construction, so expect updates. If you want to help, just send relevant links, files, and/or messages of support to musingsonamericanpie@mail.com

Of course, the best way to start would be to listen to the song. You can listen to it below (requires the latest browser for the player to operate properly, and a Spotify account to listen to the song in its entirety):
