Don McLean had this post on his Facebook page.
"I can’t believe it’s 50 years to the day when American Pie was released. They say time flies when you’re having fun and I guess that’s right. I’ve had a fabulous life in music and the arts and got to see the world all because of that wonderful album and the many that followed. All because of my loyal fan base throughout the world. All because of the many friends I have and the help they have given me."

Such an amazing song!

Such an amazing song!

Until Madonna ruined it.
