LOL Landi! That would make some sense about "The day the music died" if it's about Buddy Holly, but the whole "took my chevy to the levy bit..." um... still don't get that part!

Great article!!!!!! And Bo Bice, continued working on dragging his microphone stand around the stage, the international sign for I'm actually a rocker, stuck in a '70s dance tune."

i would love to hear bo bice sing anything. he's really so good. i didn't get to see all of AI last night, but have seen enough reruns on our local fox station. i think constantine looked extremely weird. he just looked slimey to me. btw--couldn't help but chuckle about the time zone thing. i'm in cleveland and yes, we are eastern. however, in indiana, there are parts that are in standard, not daily savings time. in fact, one of the most famous things that college corner indiana is famous for being on standard time, as well as being the closest place to oxford ohio (to buy alcohol!

American Pie was written about the death of both Buddy Holly and the Bid Bopper (who were on the same plane). It's a homage to some great singers and actually IMHO the end of something great.

Ahem........and Ritchie Valens. They were all three on that plane.... Famed Country Singer Waylon Jennings lost that coin toss to ride in the plane, and gave his seat up to the big bopper. I forget who else had to ride on the bus with him. I think Waylon died in February of 2003

If you read ALL the lyrics to the song, MacArthur Park makes much more sense. It is a sad love song. Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! [break] There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why [extended break] MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Oh, no No, no Oh no!!

As Dr. Johnson said disparagingly of "metaphysical poetry" like Donne's, that song is a series of images "heterogeneously yoked together by violence"
