I had the Blues because I had no shoes, until upon the street I met a man who had no feet.
Denis Waitley.

Wishing everyone a good weekend

On my way back from the restaurant, I was listening to an interview featuring Don McLean. He was the writer and singer of American Pie. To my surprise it was mentioned there have been colleges that studied the meaning of this song and books have been written about it. McLean essentially said the song was about how America was going the wrong direction. He stated that this song was a new genre of music for its time. He also stated that he considers himself a thinker and his thoughts of the time were put into the lyrics of this song. Even with this most recent interview, he says America is still going in the wrong direction. Aside from all this, he made a statement that got me thinking, and I would like to hear what you think. He said everyone (and he stressed everyone) struggles to keep their sanity. The struggle is a fight that we all must do and continue to do. What do you all think....do you find yourself fighting to keep your sanity?

I assume American Pie is about this struggle that America is losing with. .....who knows, it might pertain to more of the world today.


I do not think too many will admit they are struggling to keep their sanity, but, it might be something to think about as well. However, if Mr. McLean is right, maybe that may change some of our perspectives toward others. After all, we are all fighting.

I bet ya can't keep up with this chap......

It is a strange song if you ask me...

I have an opinion on its meaning....but...I would like to hear other's first.

Happy Friday all.
