TameasDust	Date: February 3, 2006 @ 9:51 AM The same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also took the lives of Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"). Since all three were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959 became known as "The Day The Music Died".

Alstroph	Date: February 3, 2006 @ 1:04 PM I feel like music has been dead for a long time. It started dying in the 80's for me.
FebruaryBattles	Date: February 3, 2006 @ 1:08 PM music is never dead... diffrent people enjoy diffrent things... people can argue that music was better back in the day... but something that is a form of expression truly cant be compared..

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: February 4, 2006 @ 12:00 PM 80's weren't so bad - We had The Smiths, U2, R.E.M. (when still indie), Sonic Youth pre Geffen, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Motorhead, The Cure, The Clash, The Police, The Pixies, Blake Bakies, Crowded House, Blondie etc. and a whole bunch of other stuff. We weren't inundated with a bunch of boy bands (this started late in the 80's and went insane in the 90's) and American Idol singers. Just like today, the majority of the top 10 singles and albums were cr*p but that was the case in the 70s, 90's and the new millenia too.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: February 4, 2006 @ 12:05 PM I guess it helped that I am about quad-polar and like almost every genre from rock to goth to metal to alternative to pop (done well, not schmaltz)and that being a keys player mostly and guitarist second that the advent of MIDI, FM and wave synthesis, samplers and Cubase on the Atari ST were exciting developments, even though technology was not used well in many cases and often led to cold, soulless music.

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: May 19, 2006 @ 7:23 PM yeah, scary huh ! I can do this but I can't even boil an egg, oh the mysteries of life !
Ataxia2	Date: May 19, 2006 @ 9:07 PM It died when AJ tried to make music. :rip:
celtaidd	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 3:48 AM AJ lives on in all of us
AdNauseam	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 8:12 AM Thanks for the bump, Kit
coopster	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 9:58 AM one of my high school teachers taught me that stupid 'bye bye miss american pie' song contained subtly worded disses to both the Beatles and the Stones... but wasn't that Don McLean's ONLY song? what a lame-o.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 12:56 PM no, he also had success with 'vincent' an ode to vincent van gogh and a cover version of roy orbison's 'crying' that was about the most depressing thing in the world. But pretty much he was a one album wonder.
GeneHilbert	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 1:21 PM You all would be so lucky to be that one album wonder......
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 1:40 PM sure - especially given that it sold millions of copies worldwide.
GeneHilbert	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 1:48 PM I suspect 10's of millions
GeneHilbert	Date: May 20, 2006 @ 1:54 PM I get at least one request for that American Pie a week now. When I did the beach circuit it was daily and occasionally hourly... The only songs requested more was Margaritaville and Brown Eyed Girl and of course Freebird…….
zedsalt	Date: May 21, 2006 @ 11:18 AM Somebody put way, way too much work into an analysis of "American Pie"'s lyrics and posted it here: http://www.rareexception.com/Garden/Pie.php I dunno. Actually, there's some pretty interesting stuff in there.
K3VIN	Date: May 21, 2006 @ 11:27 AM interesting but i quote ""Just a reference to the plane, "American Pie" that crahed."" TYPO?? anyone could have wrote this.. maybe it was me
coopster	Date: May 23, 2006 @ 11:59 PM well for all the typos, that was as decent analysis... also totally different from my whatshername, my teacher. She said the 'jester' was the beatles... although it seems that it was definately Dylan. Especially with the James Dean coat reference.
tooles	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 1:09 AM Here's another good one: http://user.pa.net/~ejjeff/pie.html You have to scroll down a little to get to the actual analysis.
