I used to sell and deliver “Grit” newspaper, which puts a date on me.
Whenever I hear of Don McLean I think of the front-page story about his walking off a concert stage somewhere because he was so damned sick of the song, and it was all audiences wanted to hear.
I was agin Mr. McLean on that occasion, but fully with him now.
Odd the slivers of time that remain with us, for whatever reason.
I subscribe to Grit. It’s a bi-monthly glossy magazine these days. IMO it has retained some of its rural appeal as it reaches out to do - it - yourself urban farmers. But it is not politicized in any way.
