It\u2019s a classic. But do you know the full story behind Don McLean\u2018s rock \u2019n roll classic \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d (better known as \u201cthe day the music died\u201d)? If you thought it was just about the plane crash that killed Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly, you\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>On radio Thursday, Glenn Beck revealed the full message behind the catchy tune. What is it? Throughout the song, Beck says, there are warning messages about the deterioration of America.<\/p>\n<p>To refresh your memory, here is the song:<\/p>\n<header><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Don McLean- American Pie (with Lyrics)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uAsV5-Hv-7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/header>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur culture has erased the meaning of anybody who tried to issue a warning. Anybody who was on the other side. They\u2019re trying to do it now with the \u2018Hobbit\u2019 and the \u2018Lord of the Rings\u2019 and they are saying that that has nothing to do with Jesus and Christianity. That was the point. They\u2019re trying tried to do it with \u2018The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe\u2019 and the \u2018Adventure of the Chronicles of Narnia\u2019. They try to do this every step of the way and they\u2019ve done it with much of music,\u201d Glenn said on radio this moring<\/p>\n<p>He was specifically referring to songs like \u201cRevolution\u201d by The Beatles, which was clearly suspicious of violent revolution and uprisings, as well as \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d by Don McLean.<\/p>\n<p>Many people think that the song \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d is about the death of Buddy Holly and other musicians in a plane crash, but Glenn presented a reading of the lyrics on radio and showed how it could also be seen as a warning against the danger of violent uprisings like what is happening now with Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c I\u2019ve never understood I drove the Chevy to the levee, I didn\u2019t know what that was. Let\u2019s just start there on the simple part because Chevy, just think of Chevy and mom and apple pie. He\u2019s making a point here. Chevy, I drove my Chevy to the levee. This actually goes back into the 1950s and a Dinah Shore commercial for Chevy,\u201d Glenn explained.<\/p>\n<div><em>[Watch the commercial Glenn is referring to below:]<\/em><\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo America is the greatest country of all and it was an era that believed in America. I drove my Chevy to the levee. I drove the Chevy. I bought into the idea that America was the greatest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo in the second verse he goes back to his childhood and he goes back to sock hops in the gym and the pickup trucks and\u2026 and here he\u2019s talking about the book of love, which was a song by the Monotones in 1957 and he asked her about faith. He asked her about faith and whether she believes, no matter what, if the Bible tells her so. That is the representation of the faith in the Fifties. He then talks about, do you have faith in rock and roll, that music will save your mortal soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut music is the metaphor for life in America. So the girl moves on to somebody else, leaving him with his truck and the carnation. But it\u2019s not really about the girl. It\u2019s about America. She\u2019s moved on from all of those things just as America began to move on from all of those things that faith would help you, that faith, you would do it through faith. You would do things because the Bible told you so. But now you\u2019re starting to believe that music will save your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glenn played more of the song, reaching the part where McLean sings \u201cNow for 10 years we\u2019ve been on our own\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor ten years now we\u2019ve been on our own. It\u2019s the decade of the Sixties. Remember in the Fifties you had faith, you had the Bible, you had family, you had all of these things that were there. But now for ten years we\u2019ve been on our own and moss grows fat on a Rolling Stone. This is referring to Bob Dylan who the court jester and his song like a Rolling Stone. Also Dylan wore a coat from James Dean on the cover of his \u201963 album Free Wheelin\u2019 and McLean laments all of the change in our values that was occurring in the 1960s when he said that\u2019s not how that\u2019s not the way it used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he\u2019s singing dirges in the dark mourning the loss of America, that America is changing fundamentally. Lenin read a book of Marx. We know that John Lennon was influenced at the time by Karl Marx. Lennon read a book of Marx. The quartet practiced in the park. Could be a reference to the Beatles preparing for their role in the cultural revolution. And as the ultimate icons of the new era. But McLean is saying, but we sang dirges in the dark because we knew what was coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What was\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.explainthelyrics.com\/american-pie-don-mclean\/\">coming<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p><em>Helter Skelter in a summer swelter<br \/>\nThe birds flew off with the fallout shelter<br \/>\nEight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass<br \/>\nThe players tried for a forward pass<br \/>\nWith the jester on the sidelines in a cast<br \/>\nNow the halftime air was sweet perfume<br \/>\nWhile sergeants played a marching tune<br \/>\nWe all got up to dance<br \/>\nOh, but we never got the chance<br \/>\n\u2018Cause the players tried to take the field,<br \/>\nThe marching band refused to yield.<br \/>\nDo you recall what was revealed,<br \/>\nThe day the music died?<br \/>\nWe started singing<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelter Skelter in a Summer Swelter, again the Beatles song reference also indicates the chaos and the violence that broke out in the summer of \u201968. The Byrds he spells with a Y, flew off to the fallout shelter. Nature, represented by the Byrds, sense the danger, headed for safety in a shelter. But eight miles high is another song reference by the band the Byrds. So they are falling fast, because everything is falling fast. Everybody, the smart people, nature knows, get into a fallout shelter. Then he goes into the youth culture clashing with the government violently, using a football metaphor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re at halftime. He said the players youth going for a forward pass. The players going for a forward pass. That\u2019s the youth, going for a forward pass. And the government hitting back. And the jester on the sidelines in a cast. Remember that\u2019s, the jester is Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan had a serious motorcycle accident for a while and he was healing on his own and music flounder everything kind of floundered for a time. Then he gets to halftime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHalftime, he\u2019s seeing the summer of love. This is 1967, a brief respite in \u201967 with the flower children. Sergeant\u2019s playing a marching tune. That\u2019s the Beatles and Sergeant Pepper. And the summer of love was an opportunity to get up and dance. But the violence returned in the summer of \u201968. And remember we\u2019re here at \u201968, recreate \u201968. We never got the chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just passed our summer of love. What happened there in the park, that was just love. There were people in the park that were just trying to be loved. We\u2019re now headed for 1968.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened in the summer of \u201968. Do you remember, do you recall what was revealed, the Miss America protest of \u201968 when women were burning their bras and everything else. But also Altamont, and this is such a clear, clear message against what is coming and what happened in an event that almost is erased. It\u2019s more important than Woodstock, and it was it\u2019s being erased in history. Here he is warning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>There we were all in one place<br \/>\nA generation lost in space With no time left to start again<br \/>\nSo come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick<br \/>\nJack Flash sat on a candle stick<br \/>\n\u2018Cause fire is the devil\u2019s only friend.<br \/>\nAs I watched him on the stage<br \/>\nMy hands were clenched in fists of rage<br \/>\nNo angel born in hell<br \/>\nCould break that satan\u2019s spell<br \/>\nAnd as flames climbed high into the night<br \/>\nTo light the sacrificial rite<br \/>\nI saw satan laughing with delight<br \/>\nthe day the music died.<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n\u201c Because fire is its only friend. Okay. Gathering all in one place, 300,000 flower children flocked to Altamont in the fall of 1969. It was, it was the followup to Woodstock: Drugs, alcohol, increasing violence. They were a generation lost in space. Remember, the space race was also going on. There was nowhere left to go. Their momentum was fading and the decade was gone. And so was America. Then the rolling stones who had pushed the counterculture envelope with the last couple of albums took the stage as McLean alludes to with, \u201cCome on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack sat on the candlestick,\u201d that is the Jumpin\u2019 Jack Flash song by the Rolling Stones. And he\u2019s referring here to Mick Jagger was the Devil who refuses to end the Altamont concert despite the violence and the loss of crowd. Even, even the Grateful Dead said this is crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019No angel born in hell could break that Satan spell.\u2019 The Hells Angels were hired for security. They couldn\u2019t stop the chaos. In fact, they added to it. And Jagger, Satan in the song, continued to hold the audience in his spell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA gun wielding man in the crowd heads for the stage but Hells Angels intercept him and they stab him to death. That\u2019s what happened at Altamont. They stab him to death. The sacrificial rite. Shortly before the stabbing, right before this guy starts going on a rampage, the Stones had performed \u2018Sympathy For the Devil\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCould it get any creepier than this? Don McLean was not just writing about this event but the demise of an era. The erosion of your culture. The erosion of our values. Altamont was the final blow to bring about the day the music died.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glenn took a break and then returned to discuss the song further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just looking at some of the old interviews with Don McLean because he never talks about this song anymore. But at the time he said that he was obsessed with what he called the death of America and so many things. The loss of so many things that he grew up with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c (McLean) said in a sense \u2018American Pie\u2019 was a despairing song. In another way it was hopeful. He said Pete Seeger told me that he saw it as a song in which people were saying something, that they had been fooled, they had been hurt and they weren\u2019t going to let it happen again. He said that\u2019s a good way to look at it, a hopeful way. Unfortunately Pete Seeger was a communist and I mean, that\u2019s the way that\u2019s why this happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt happened with Mao and it won\u2019t happen this way again. It happened at Altamont but it won\u2019t happen like that again. I mean, it\u2019s the same story over and over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is, is that there was at least somebody that was in this culture at that time that was mourning the loss of America then and we didn\u2019t lose America then. We\u2019re still going. We might despair now and say, \u2018Jeez, we\u2019re going to lose America\u2019. That\u2019s not necessarily true unless we allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"See the USA in Your Chevrolet - Dinah Shore 1952\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iK43-ERSwwM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/conservativebyte.com\/2012\/02\/do-you-know-the-full-story-behind-the-day-the-music-died\/\">http:\/\/conservativebyte.com\/2012\/02\/do-you-know-the-full-story-behind-the-day-the-music-died\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/do-you-know-the-full-story-behind-the-day-the-music-died-get-ready\/\">http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/do-you-know-the-full-story-behind-the-day-the-music-died-get-ready\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a transcript of what Beck said (<em>which is already displayed above)<\/em>, as well as the original Chevy commercial (<em>also displayed above<\/em>),\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.glennbeck.com\/2012\/02\/09\/the-day-the-music-died-explained-by-glenn\/\" target=\"_blank\">head over to Glennbeck.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Watchwoman:<\/strong><\/span> And now you have the full version of American Pie on video too! \u00a0This is a win\/win winner! <strong>\u25ac Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d explained by Glenn Beck: What does \u201cThe Day the music died\u201d mean?
