FOUR young men died in that plane crash; please do not forget the pilot.😢
Very Interesting. I live in Northern Westchester, and grew-up near New Rochelle. But I went to Manhattan College, not to Iona.
WOW !!
Excellent video but I have to disagree with the idea that Buddy Holly alone was the only inspiration for American Pie. I don't think it was an ode in the same way that Vincent was. You mentioned Don's reaction to Kennedy's death and the similarity to his reaction to Holly's death. As a child of the 60s Don was caught up undoubtedly in the "revolutionary" optimism of the age. The " Age of Aquarius" in which love and peace were the harbingers of a new age of enlightened living. The death of his idol Holly before and later Kennedy threw his thinking into a melancholic retrospective of that ideal which was now lost. The "Music" was a hope that had died. The many cultural, personal and religious references create a much more complex picture.
I'm pretty happy with this ladies view of Don McLean's American Pie. She only covers the likely possibilities and doesn't get into wild theories of the entire song lyrics. I read an interview of Don McLean and in it he said he wrote it fairly quickly. And I remember him saying that many people have tried to dissect too far into it and his lyrics are about a few of those things maybe but it's more simple
They were the top pop rockers of the times.
wow, just wow. the newspaper thing. page 20. you brought so much I never knew to this song from my childhood. thank you
What a great podcast! Thanks!
When you mention Seth Morgan, why do you put up a photo of Mick Jagger 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Bet the poor guy never got any credit for writing the song. Just knowing that ruined my taste for this song. It's corrupt thar the writer get's nothing while Cohen and everyone else makes a fortune from his work. I'd probably kill myself if I were in position. Screw Cohen
*Where's part 2?*
Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for this very compelling look at Leonard Cohen’s musical life. My favorite version of “Hallelujah” is by a quartet of Norwegian singers Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes and Kurt Nilsen. Their harmonies are just phenomenal! You can find it “Hallelujah(Shrek song) Best version!”
Stumbled onto your channel today. LOVE IT. I've had a love affair with music since I was 11 years old in 1968. I lived thru and grew up with Janis Joplin and many of the other artist you cover. To get a blow-by-blow recounting of the real story of these artist's life fills a huge void. When you are 11 hearing these artists music on my portable AM radio, never having a clue or even an idea about them as "mere mortals, earthly beings" never would cross my mind in those days. Thank you for your channel. You fill a huge void, pictures now made whole ❤😎
I remember reading a newspaper in England at breakfast about the plane crash when I was 13. The tour bus lacked heat and people got frosbite. Dion was there and has a video about it, well worth watching. Buddy got many English people started on guitar, and his songs were mostly pretty easy to play. Don Maclean is a lot more skilled and his guitar work on many of his songs is much more complex.
Mike Jefferie.. MI6 agent..
Jimi Hendrix.. One trick pony that got ripped off because Jimi was not a very sharp shed tool... I actually have no pity for Hendrix.. Great guitarist, yardi yardi yah, but no genius like all you parrots say... Jimi would be alive today if he hadn't been such a f up dope head..
I have a theory that Courtney had her friend call about that overdosing with her and going to the hospital so that would be her Alibi for when it was time to kill Kurt out of the three people that Courtney supposedly tried to hire to kill Kurt are all dead except for one and they all say that they died from suicide which I believe is bull that she had them taken out so they wouldn't open their mouth because two of them were going around saying that they were offered money to kill kurt 😮😮😮😮😮
You do a good show and I appreciate the research but I think you would enhance your show if you provided links to books for people who want to learn more and I hope you're reading all the major biographies on her. I got to see her live perform and I've read everything I could and seen every film but apparently I wasn't paying enough attention to the Zelda Fitzgerald influence on her. For any of these artists that your profiling without having to imitate the deep dive of Andrew hickeys The History of Rock in 500 songs you may find a bonanza of useful biographical material
Mike Jeffery was obviously an untrustworthy sleazeball . Mike Jeffery obviously had something to do with the murder of Jimi Hendrix .
The first time I heard "American Pie" I was dancing at an after school sock hop. The irony struck me like a lightning bolt.
Excellent well researched video . Highly informative . Fascinating !
Listen Everyone... If You Look at Everything That Happened That Night Before.. Monica was Running All Around Town Looking for Him Showing Up Here and He'd Go to Someone Else's Place and She'd Show Up There Creating a Scene... She was Obsessed With Jimi.. I Mean Come On.. She was Telling Anyone Who Would Listen They Were Getting Married.. She was Driving Him Crazy... At The Last Place She Showed Up He'd Had Enough and Just Figured Let Me Get Her Out of Here and Take Her Home... So... Enter The Vesparax... Now...What Alot of People Aren't Aware of Is Monica was Under a Psychiatric Doctors Care...She was Mentally Unstable... Now... What I Believe Happened is This.. They Probably Had a Discussion and He Said Some Things She Didn't Like or Didn't Want to Hear and She Knew How Potent The Vesparax Were Because Her Doctor Warned Her Before She Filled The Prescription Not to Take More Then a Half of Tablet in a 24 Hour Period.. I Believe Jimi was Really Worn Down and Just Wanted to Get Some Sleep and That Lightbulb Went on Over Her Head.. Hey... I Got These Vesparax from My Doctor... I'll Give Him Some of These (And This is Really What We Don't Know) But I Wonder (More Believe) if Monica's Mind Went to.. If I Can't Have Jimi Then No One is Going to.. And Once The 1 or 2 Vesparax She Gave Him Probably Had Him at The Brink of Death Then She Washed Some More Vesparax Tablets Down His Throat (Which Nicely Explains The Wine in His Lungs The Doctors Found at St Marys) And That's What I Believe Happened.. And of Course Then She Panics.. She Doesn't Call Emergency Services... She Calls Trixie Sullivan (Michael Jefferies Assistant) Then Calls Eric Burden's Flat... And Then Just Ups and Disappears Leaving Jimi in That State All Alone... That's Guilt... I'm Sorry... And Lastly... Fast Forward Years Up The Road and Then She Commits Suicide... I Believe The Guilt Finally Ate Her Up So Bad She Couldn't Go On Any More.. And That is The Only Scenario That Makes Any Sense of The Evidence That is Known of The 12-14 Hours Say Before His Death (And Additionally I Will Add.. It is Possible That Mike Got in Monica's Head Also Which Prodded Her Along and The Seeds Took Root and Then That Progressed into What I Just Explained Transpired That Night... And That's Probably Why She Called Trixie Sullivan First Frantically Wanting to Speak to Michael Jeffries) And That is About as Close as We are Ever Going To Get to Exactly What Happened Late That Night into The Early Morning Hours of Sept 18th.
..And I Just Came Back to Add This Little Nugget.. I Find it Very Eerie That All Monica Ever Painted After Jimi's Death was Jimi.
Told exactly as I have been telling it for decades. I was never able to convince anybody until the internet brought data to the surface, maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I began to research Jimi's death in 1970 and all roads lead to Mike. Jimi died on my 16th birthday.
I think I'm in love. Man, I could look at her pretty face forever. I used to have a girl friend she closely resembles right down to her thin sexy build. Very feminine, cool and personable. I want to start a fan club in hopes that some day I'll meet her. Just gorgeous ahahh sigh
My friend flew out of Woodstock with Jimi & Janis on a helicopter, and Janis laid her head down in Jimi Hendrix's lap and puked all over Jimi.
He was going to fire Mike Jeffries that day and contacted his lawyer and passed that along - it was Jeffries who killed him
Той. Е.жив.
Don't overlook the fact that Buddy Holly wasn't the only passenger on the plane. On February 3, 1959, American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and "The Big Bopper" (J. P. Richardson) were all killed in a plane crash near Cedar Lake, Iowa, together with pilot Roger Peterson.
You should watch my Buddy Holly episode next! 💜
There is a difference in saying that you read the headlines than opening the paper. Opening the paper refers you to reading the pages inside the paper past the headlines. The headlines would continue to the inner pages and if he read the headline story it could have continued to the obituary page, then he saw the other story. The sloop, Clearwater, still travels the Hudson River, I had received some pictures from her by s friend that volunteers with that charity.
I had read in the Jerry Hopkins book that it was the awful Mike Jeffery who came up with the "Jimi" spelling as well as the name "The Jimi Hendrix Experience," but just because I read it in a 40 yr old, poorly researched, book doesn't make it true.
Such a "wooden" and unfeeling commentary.
Great, if confusing, song. You misrepresent Pete Seeger, he was a socialist, not a communist, and a caring American.
You lost me when you said Jimi was going to hook up with a couple of guys. That’s total garbage 👎
Wow I wasn't expecting a good job gal...but you hit it out of the ball park on this one! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video. I like the part about Leonard and the poem to his father in the tie. Sad to hear about Lissaur. Love Cohen, but he should have treated Lissaur better. I hope he lived long enough to apologize.
Didn't the electrician say the note was in a potted plant
Investigate the death clause if any, in his contract.
Courtney was another Yoko Ono
We have it good!
Lady, what you need to do is read Charles R. Cross’ biography of Kurt Cobain called “Heavier Than Heaven”. You’ll get all your answers there. Have a good day
Animals roadie Tappy also says in his book that he was once approached at a bar or restaurant by someone to join the British spy world but he turned him down. 🤔
I've always had a strong interest in the American Pie lyrics since high school (early 70's) and I've since learned the song begining references buddy holly. However there's much more in the remaining lyrics that are interest to me (as well many others). Such as the "jester sang to the king and queen", "moss grows fat on a rollng stone", "quartet practiced in the park"...you get the ideal. The buddy holly part is really just the begining, and its small part of the song. I appreciate the background to Don, and you give some insight to what perhaps prompted him to write and the timing, but not so much insight about what he wrote in the song. I think the lyrics are fascinating insightfull vignettes of Rock & Roll from a musician from that era. Ie; the song lyrics is the real story...
Bullshit podcast, goddamn. The fucking censoring words is damn stupid. And then a whole lot of debunked bullshit. Never listening again.
It’s interesting because Glenn Frey was always seen as the jerk in the band and Don Henley was just going for the ride, but I guess we were wrong looks like old Donnie boy is a dick
You may want to TAKE IT EASY or Don will lawyering up on you
Yes, I pulled the fuse for my ABS. I know how to apply brakes.
The loss of Toby still haunts me today. On a side note, I'm a retired Electrical Engineer and Defense Contractor. May I ask if you are married? Thank you.
When asked about the meaning behind American Pie Don explained that it meant that he never had to work again.
THANK YOU! It's extremely interesting and you did a tremendous job ❤
