The Murder of America
By Dave Daubenmire|December 19th, 2019
“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.†—American Pie, Don McLean
The music has certainly died in America. No matter how painful it is to admit this nation is but a shadow of its former self. Webster’s defined shadow as “An imperfect and faint representation.†This is not your grandfather’s America
Perhaps that is why American Pie was so poignant and why it hit a nerve with America. Released in 1971, the year I graduated from high school, there was an eeriness to the song that none of us could put a finger on. But yes, something about the song did “touch us deep inside.†The decade of the 70’s certainly left a mark on the soul of all who lived through those times.
