I BELIEVE THIS IS ABOUT HIS LIFE AND WHEN HE SAYS THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED IT'S BECAUSE IT WA S A BLOOD SACRFRICE, BECUSE THEY KNEW THOSE THREE WOULD CHANGE ROCK N ROLL AND STOP IT FROM BEING SATANIC YOU SHOULD HEAR BUDDY HOLLY WHEN HE SAYS IM POSSESSED Y THE DEVIL

[egoftcp1]

I'm downloading this so that one day, when I have kids, I can show them what true music is and how it can actually have MEANING behind it.

Anyone with me?

[joetubealong]

I remember when this song came out my music teacher tried to make sence of it and as I remember he did a good job. Man were the 60's FUCKED UP!!!!! What a Damn waste! It makes me sick everytime I think about it!!! I'm still waiting for all of the Hippies and College kids from then who are running the country now to make good on all of the BULLSHIT that they preached back then. Whenever I hear someone from then say something like "Man we reall made a diffrence didn't we?" I'd like to Deck em!

When I liked this video the suggestions for videos Fred, Icarly, and the Jonas brothers came up and the only thing I could think of was Oh hell no.

[BrutalCorperation]

Its a great video, but it feels like your missing a pretty big point. whenever don says bye miss american pie, he is mainly reffering to the death of his way of life, the simplicity and happiness of the 50s, and he simply uses the death of buddy holly as the gravestone for it. the r est of the song is one big elaborate story, the story of how the american culture and how the music in america matured from the blissful ignorance of the 50s to the turmoil of the 60s. truly unbelievable this song

[CokaColaProductions]

this song explains the 50 60 70 and 80's event in a great way!

[TheVoltage335]

Im not 2 sure which lennon its talking about, the beetle or the russian communist. It covers cold war later on,

[CokaColaProductions]

this is real music not hiphop or teen music

[ceflora]

While the sergeants played a marching tune. Is probably a reference to the Ballad of the Green Berets which was a hit in 1966 by Sergeant Barry Sadler

[trixy13579]

wow this is so true. its my favorite song... i noticed from the first time i heard it that it had some meaning, but couldn't understand what. you did an awesome job of explaining on an awesome song by don mclean. congrats

[something0705]

[antraykh]

American pie was the name of the plane...

[bojebus04]

i dont think this has to do with some of the people named, this song came out before janis died

[destroyedtheozone]

The Time magazine title "Is God Dead?" really freaks me out. Gives me the chills.

[jesusfreak1020109]

great video

[joeler2512]

Never heard a more beautiful explanation of a song

[Daisy4dk]

Thanks to the maker of this video and thanks Molly for the share.

[LVEMEDO]

ONE OF THE TOP 10 SONGS OF ALL TIME awesome doesnt come close

[blueguitarblue]

@LVEMEDO This is more than just a song. It's a monolithic epic American history lesson capsulated in an amazing song! Leave it to Mick Jagger to tell fans at Altamont during a murder to "cool off." He's such a sell-out--charging $200 per ticket for years. At least Pearl Jam, from my home town, were dignified when fans were trampled, to End the concert AND the tour for mourning. The Stones is possibly the most narcissist r 'n' r bands in history.

[LVEMEDO]

This was a wonderful video. Thanks for pointing out many of the allusions I never even knew about this song. A sad anniversary but I feel happy that we can still remember and love Buddy Holly 50 years after his death. What joy he brought the world in such a short time.

[biochief06]

My father who passed away three weeks ago taught me to love Buddy Holleys music. Thanks for doing these guys justice.

Enjoy this while you can--or download and save it. The greedy scumbags from Warner Music Group are going around taking songs off YouTube. BOYCOTT WARNER MUSIC GROUP

[patrickpjfan]

I'm glad this video is back up.

[DanielSchwegler]

super video, klasse- thanx a lot!

[baldy2006]

I noticed two factual errors in your video.

#1: The only surviving headliner was Dion. Bobby

Vee was brought on in Minnesota.

#2: It was actually Tommy Alsup, Buddy's back-up

guitarist, who lost the coin toss to Ritchie Valens. J. P. Richardson(The Big Bopper) had actually talked Waylon into giving him his seat on the plane.

P.S.: Backstage after the show in Clear Lake, IA, Buddy joked that he hoped Jennings' bus froze. In return, Jennings joked that he hoped Holly's plane crashed.
