@quester \r\nI read also she was in New York and went to a small club and Don McClean was playing that night. He had not reached any fame at that time. She was taken aback by his song or songs that it inspired this song.! I have experienced that before but it was with Joni Mitchell. Also this song is much more interesting knowing her inspiration for writing it! For years I thought she said "Strumming my face with his fingers" which is not the same as the real words.

Not about American Pie, but about the experience of being at a Don Mclean concert.
