@kleppy12: And Candlestick Park was the final public concert for The Beatles as well -- Aug. 29, 1966 (other than the Rooftops sessions of Jan. 31, 1969).

No, the plane was not called "American Pie". That's a rumor.

[heavenscloud001]

Pretty good interpretation, unfortunately we will never know if you were correct or not.......

@godday2u

the picture of the children crying in the streets, is a reference to the massacre at kent state university in ohio, where 4 protesters where killed by military called in by president nixon

A little known fact is that the plane carrying Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson A.K.A. The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens, was actually named American Pie.
