“I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.”
I saw tori amos in concert at Radio city a while back, she played this song but just those verses, and she started crying as she did it too. What a performance.
Someone really needs to get footage of Snappy and *rob* rollerblading in the park
“Rob, if you are willing to brave Prospect Park, I’ll skate with you.”
snappy, don’t forget to return his forties!

When I was in high school, we spend a lot of time trying to figure out who all the people were in the American Pie lyrics.
Hola, Snaps & CGar.
My fav verses are the last two:
“I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.

The church bells all were broken.
