This is a revision to previously posted videos. I was fortunate enough to go to the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake IA and speak firsthand with many who were there including Tommy Allsup who flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. This version corrects some factual errors and includes new footage from the SURF

I've always liked this song, but I had no clue the lyrics held so much hidden references.

Great explanation of song, but I always thought the phrase "Lennon read a book on Marx" was "Lenin read a book on Marx" referring to Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx.

I just looked it up, and the plane had no name actually. So I think American pie symbolizes the fact that american pie is the symbol of the 50s, and when they all 3 died, it was the end of it.

I heard somewhere that American Pie was the name of the plane, but that could be rumor, this song makes me cry too. The last day of marching band, at the end, we all sang this together.

Such a Good Times!!!!!
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
