A physicist, an engineer, and a mathematician walk into a room and see a fire.

The engineer takes a bucket of water from the corner, pours it on the fire and puts it out.

The physicist and pours the water eloquently around the fire and lets the fire put itself out.

The mathematician convinces himself there is a solution and leaves.

Yer either missing the point or just being goofy on purpose.

Gave it a 2...only that generous because I am envious of where this guy lives in Maine...Camden I think. As idyllic a town you'll ever see (in summer of course).

I like this song. But I was just reminded of an interview with Don where he was asked "Some of your lyrics are a bit obscure. So,what exactly does American Pie mean?" Replied "What it means is I'm so rich I don't have to work anymore"

wish i could figure out a way to do that!

This was such a perfect song for a girl in high school. Can you remember the angst as only a 16-year-old could summon? I would weep for the beauty and the poetry of this song.

All I can say is, thank god I'm 50!

Next to American Pie, my most favourite Don McLean song. So beautiful and an excellent tribute to Van Gogh

I'll bet at least $1.99 that the negative comments about the wizard Santana were posted by people born after 1975. Have you listened with open mind to his guitar? Am I preaching?

my father used to rock me and sing this as a lullabye when i was a baby (why, I'll never know)... it made me weep then, and it makes me teary even now...

Don McLean wrote and sang some of the most amazing songs lo these 30+ years ago. He is still singing them on tour. It's such a shame that this early promise didn't blossom into a fabulous career of continued genius.

Though it's trite to say, this is an exceptionally beautiful song both musically and lyrically. Vincent clearly had deep meaning to Don.

this song makes me feel sad. it reminds me of my friend from highschool, who was a drama major, who killed himself because of boyfriend troubles... last time i heard this it made me cry my little face off missing my friend.

beautiful song. i love it.

About the same situation for me. Except she was a friend who I had known since first grade. She OD a week after her 20th birthday. I saw her the night before she did it
