twice divorced and domestic abusing 73 year old boomer [with a 24 year old girlfriend] most famous for writing a eulogy about the "innocence" of the 1950s in the 1970s has Phase IV (Profound Lead Toxicity) rated political takes.

i am shocked.

Things just haven't been the same since the Big Bopper died.

That is a top 5 most horrible song to realize to be entirely unironic

Also anything from Marty Robbins that isn't about old west rooting tooting

If you like the rooting tooting western aspect, may I suggest Cisco Houston? He was a folk singer and Wobbly troubadour from the depression era who sang a bunch of the old cowboy tunes

[-] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Nah, not my thing. What I like about these guys is the voice. The lyrics are just silly.

[-] Dingus_Khan@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Ok fair, but Cisco has the most buttery smooth voice around! Not trying to convince you to like something you don't, just have to go to bat for the guy

[-] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

I mean, he sounds like Woody Guthrie or Pete Seger. Not terrible, but not my first pick.

This song confused me as a kid so I asked my dad what is was about, he explained who the people in the crash were. But 9/11 had just happened and I was just like oh that's basically nothing compared to that and he had to admit that was true.

Anyways, death to America

[-] homhom9000@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

I also don't know what it's about and know maybe 10% of the words. What crash?

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

NATOpedia

idk, I think this was a big deal for boomers or something, I know who Big Bopper was because of a joke on Futurama and Buddy Holly because of the Weezer song that was included with Windows 95 shrug-outta-hecks

Killing me softly with his dumbassness

Make like your song and die old man

Don Mclean failed to account fo-

"And while Lenin read a book on Marx

The quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark

The day the music died"

Is this the day that you die yet?

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

I'm kinda shocked this guy's still alive.

Honestly, I learned about this song because of the Madonna cover like 25 years ago, and had no idea what it was about.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

American Pie is one of those songs that would make me walk off to do odd tasks or take a bathroom break at work should it have popped up on the radio.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 10 months ago

Don McLean is still alive?

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Who is this loser and why is he taking credit for a song that Madonna orginally wrote for the millennium to go with that one with all the green lasers? soviet-huff

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

the WOKES are trying to take your DRY LEVEES away (stopping droughts caused by climate change)
