Thread Name: Don McLean question
Subject: RE: Don McLean question
There are articles online and elsewhere that give extensive analyses, breaking the lyrics down line by line and even word by word, but these are ,of course, little more than figments of the imaginations of the various writers. There isn't any question, though, that the introductory verse ("A long, long time ago...")refers to Buddy Holly's death.
