I am not only like American pie, Vincent, but I love Aftermath, till' tomorrow, Everybody loves me baby, fool's paradise, La La love you......etc. Don McLean, I love not only the famous one, all the songs are influential!!!! Even I am young and from the other country, your songs are part of the life!
I get, almost angry. My generation, the generation of today, feed of cover versions and one off "talent" show hacks who never feel what they sing let alone have the ability to pen a song from their heart.
I don't pretend that any song ever written was not for a commerical reason but I do feel that with singers like Mclean it was NEVER to main reason. It was the expression that mattered.
Don Mclean played Castlebar last October and it was a fabulous night..what a great musican..he played the Mountains of Mourne and it was very emotional...lovely man..
i was at the concert in killarney you talk about on this interview and it was one of the most treasured nights of my life, especially meeting with you back stage.

I agree with stefanboro - some people in music are artists - they create. Try thinking of a boyband that produces art - 'DUH!"

Most boybands don't even write there own music.

The song "Vincent" really touched me.
I get, almost angry. My generation, the generation of today, feed of cover versions and one off "talent" show hacks who never feel what they sing let alone have the ability to pen a song from their heart.

Just like "Piano Man" with Billy Joel I think.
