I can picture myself in that crowd. Warm summer's day. Smoking a bone and sipping an ice cold brew. Dickie Betts not missing a pick. Wish I owned a time machine.
I know some one who named their daughter after that song, based on the feeling it gave him. Allman Brothers, Jessica.

As many times as I have heard Don McLean's American Pie the song never gets old and is lyrically fresh as the day it was written. The songs meaning is also a very strong draw.
Some info about the song:
Don McLean wrote the song in Cold Spring, New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1][2] The song made its debut in Philadelphia at Temple University[3] when he was opening for Laura Nyro on March 14, 1971.[1] The song is well known for its cryptic lyrics that have long been the subject of curiosity and speculation. Although McLean dedicated the American Pie album to Buddy Holly, none of the musicians in the plane crash are identified by name in the song itself.
When asked what "American Pie" meant, McLean replied, "It means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to."[4] Later, he more seriously stated, "You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me.... Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence."[5]
McLean has generally avoided responding to direct questions about the song lyrics, such as saying, "They're beyond analysis. They're poetry."[6] except to acknowledge that he did first learn about Buddy Holly's death while folding newspapers for his paper route on the morning of February 3, 1959, (the line "February made me shiver/with every paper I'd deliver"). He also stated in an editorial published on the 50th anniversary of the crash in 2009 that writing the first verse of the song exorcised his long-running grief over Holly's death.[7]
