The first time I heard “American Pie”, I was in the wet parking lot of a store. The song came on and I sat in the car until it finished.
I knew immediately that it was going to be a hit even tho I knew nothing of what it was about.

It is a great rock-n-roll ballad.
Very much a tragedy, but I loathe “American Pie”. I can’t put my finger on it, but it never struck me as a song I wanted to listen to. The fact that it was played on the radio all the time just added to my dislike of the song.
