Yeah, OK...
But what the hell does it mean?
...
It has the same meaning as MacArthur Park and Blinded by the Light.
“has the same meaning as MacArthur Park and Blinded by the Light”
Naw.
MacArtnur Park is meaningless. Both Blinded by the Light and American Pie have meaningful passages and overall themes, as well as pure poetry.
Blinded by the Light is about playing in a New Jersey bar band, a kind of slice of life. e.g.
“Some silicone sister with her manager mister
Told me I got what it takes
He said i’l turn you on sonny to something strong
If you play the song with the funky breaks”
Dude with big breast-implant girlfriend offers him good drugs if he plays a song he likes.
“Go cart Mozart checking out the weather chart, seeing if it’s safe out side.”
Speed freak musician looking outside to see if the cops are around.
Etc...
What every line means is hard to say, but it’s not MacArthur Park.
