A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
You want to stand still here to write music. Forty years ago Don Mclean sang fifty-that is, exactly 3 February 1959, the music was dead. After the death of Buddy Holly, The Big Hopper and Ritchie Valens (but how many have died in flight? So the fly I think of Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Denver) The rock was just a baby. not died that day, he did just a couple of decades later. Or maybe he is still alive and how can you drag, as a survivor in danger of extinction. Seasons pass, some will remember forever, others are not. Like its canzoni, come American Pie . Quando per l'ennesima volta chiesero a Don McLean cosa significasse il testo di quella canzone, rispose così: «significa che non devo più lavorare per vivere».
