Don McLean
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
Don McLean
A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.
Don McLean
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack sat on a candle stick, cause fire is the devil's only friend.

Don McLean
How did the land of Jefferson, how did the land of King, become the land of hamburgers and raisins that can sing? Roosevelt was cripple, Lincoln was a geek, they'd never get elected, their clothes were never chic.
Don McLean
But I knew - in the old days, if a song was a good song, I don't care if it was 'Yellow Submarine' or, you know, or 'The Times They Are a-Changin' or 'Don't Be Cruel', you knew it, you know? You heard that song, and you were talking about it, and you knew it.
Don McLean
Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?
Don McLean
I feel like a spinning top or a DreidelThe spinning don't stop when you leave the cradleYou just slow downRound and around this world you goSpinning through the lives of the people you knowWe all slow down.
Don McLean
When I go on the road now, which is less than before, but still more than I'd like to, I think of myself primarily as a singer. Not a songwriter, not a celebrity, just a man who likes to sing.
Don McLean
I am what I do, and that's partly why I don't want to give up singing. But when I can't sing well, I will.
Don McLean
The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.
Don McLean
Each thread of life that you leave, will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs.
Don McLean
I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.
Don McLean
In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.
Don McLean
Every thread of creation is held in position by still other strands of things living. In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar, as not to be satisfied with their own negativity, but needing to touch all the living as well.
Don McLean
Work my hands in the soil, what's the pay for all the toil? Dust for blood, dust for blood, dust for blood.
Don McLean
I had asthma when I was a kid, asthma so bad that it would turn into pneumonia and I almost died several times. Nobody knew why back then, but now it's obvious.
Don McLean
