American Pie

I've always been fascinated about Don Mc Lean's timeless song about the 1959 plane crash that led to the death of Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bobber.  Subconsciously, I always clench my fists when I hear that portion of the song play!  Now a Michigan town was recently named by some smart-ass expert as one of the dying cities of America, and 5,000 residents turned out to prove the critics wrong.  Don Mc Lean sang a song about death, and of the things that outlive us all.  Check out the video, and be amazed at the unity amidst racial diversity--this is so "American Pie!"  Click right here for the YouTube version-- Grand Rapids Lip Syncs American Pie
