links to a You Tube video that visually explains many of the references and images used in Don McLean's The Day the Music Died (aka American Pie) while you listen to the song. It's very well done and may help provide better context and understanding for those of you who are too young to remember the events of the ten years

Awesome! Haven't watched it yet but I will. I have been wanting someone to explain the cultural references in that song to me for a very long time.

Also: how's Thursday for dinner? Robin thinks fresh corn would be an excellent way to celebrate his birthday. ;-)

Thursday sounds good. Let me know how much corn you want and if there's anything else I can bring.
