Don McLean is so right the decline of the American music system and political system have deteriorated into the toilet

American Pie still brings a tear to my eye even after all these many years. Legendary song!

[KenMac-uivb]

That was quite the compliment he gave you. Well deserved, also. Very cool.

Never meet your heroes? This time he exceeded my expectations. This song is ALWAYS on my playlist. Love him and he looks great!

[rickbart]

I remember, years ago when asked "What does American Pie, mean to you?" He answered " To me, it meant I didn't have to work anymore"

An original American “Deep Thinker”, thank you Don, you are an American treasure.

“Moutains O’Mourne” by McLean is like no other. Charming, nostalgic, “mournful” and happy, all at once. This artist is pure musical genius.

I always felt that he was a patriot every time I heard that song, now it’s confirmed.

...and the three Men I admire most, The Father, Son, and The Holy They took the last train for the coast, the the music
In my opinion the decline of America is due to a country that has, in large part, turned their backs on God. Sad but true. Thank you sir for writing an incredible One of my all time favorites!

The day the music died was the day Madonna sung this song!

I appreciate Tucker’s strength to ask bold questions on the face of people. We need answers.

One of America's favorite lyricists extends to Tucker a rare interview, in which he offers high praise for Carlson's artful style of engaging those who differ from him, often much to their chagrin!
Thanks, Don McLean, for your kind words, as they extend to all of us like-minded folks, who love even those who differ from themselves, but won't tolerate being violated!
I remember where I was when I first heard American Pie.

It held a poignant and pivotal message: a modern day parable!

[arbonneladyTN]

I have my kids (34-24) who love it and sing it! Not to forget all his songs! Love Don!
Very articulate Don!

[lawinsimpleterms]

Don McLean is a brilliant man! I love his music and his philosophy!

[mark]

'Closer to Liberace than Elvis' ... isn't that the truth.

[charleyfolkes]

‘ meaningless and bloviating ‘ couldn’t more aptly express the Democratic Party !
Don McClean is still at it, performing and is a polite well spoken man ! See his concert if you can !

[dnboland]

This aged like wine. “Fiddling while Rome is burning” 🔥

[jerricroft]

That song came out my senior year of high school back in 72 and I remember somebody singing it at the final assembly we had that spring. Time flies use it wisely. Trump 2020

Positive verbal exchange.
Yes, we need more of the same.
Complimentary.
