What do you think Don McLean meant when he said "I will never have to work again" when he realized American Pie?
That's what I thought too. But I also heard that the song was about the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Do you think that's true?
McLean has confirmed that "American Pie" was partly inspired by the tragic plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper in 1959. However, the song has many other references and meanings that have been analyzed and speculated by fans and music experts.
