American Pie is one of the songs you always sing along with when it come up on the radio--it is right up there with "One Toke Over the Line"--it doesn't really matter what it means, but it's fun, and it always will be fun. It ocassionally occurs to me that AP is, basically, a reactionary song, and DM, who really has written some very catchy songs, is, however, a bit preachy and sanctimonious. Also wrong. Still, fun.
