The meaning behind the lyrics of Don McLean's American Pie. Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, War & Peace, drugs, murder, Hell's Angels and the Rolling Stones. And, of course Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.

@spongeyspikes09 Satan as Mick Jaggar? crowd entranced by muisc at Altamont? That was where Hells Angels stopped a black man from shooting people, possibly even Mick Jaggar and the Stones, by using stabbing him before he could shoot people. Hells Angells prevented murders. I don't understand your references regarding this event and this song.

Nice try. The much better fit is Igor Stavinsky. The Rite of Spring is the day the music died. At least you got kennedy right. LOL

Thank you! I was always drawn to this song, but never quite understood it. After hearing it for almost 30 years, it finally makes sense, but it probably made most sense to those that lived through the 60's.

@crestingostoso The lyrics are Lenin, but the meaning is John Lennon putting socialist references into the Beatles songs

@MangaHeroYK Helter skelter i think is just what the mood felt like, but I do agree with marijuana being the sweet perfume

@spongeyspikes09 But that doesn't make any sense with the placement in the song. Satan is Mick Jagger and during the stones performance of Gimme Shelter at Atlamont, the crowd was said to be entranced by the music (Satan's Spell)

I dont like music from this age but for some reason this is one of the greatest songs ever. And today I learnt two things, this is one long song but also has some of the most meaningful lyrics of any song , ever. Thanks for helping explain it.

@youfaild0torg Actually the plane had no name, so that isnt where Miss American pie came from.

Nice Work.
But i have to say the part where "Break that Satan's spell and as the flames etc."
was the part where their Pilot lost control of their plane and the flames was the crash.

I heard helter skelter was possibly a reference to Charles Manson and that the sweet perfume was marijuana.
