This was a song written by Don McLean in 1971. The lyrics have many interpretaions by many different people. Most common would be the idea the this song is about Buddy Holly and his plane crashing. This song in other interpritations mentions tons of famous music artist such as the Beetles, the Byrds, The Rolling Stones, and others. The record was released on a 45 and is over 8 minutes long. When played on radio stations only one side was played so the DJs wouldnt have to flip the reocrd in the middle of the song.-jkg
