From the lyrical perspective one of the best songs ever, people have been debating its full mean for 40 years and Don McClean has never fully commented on all (most of) the lyrics.
Awesome performance too.

I haven’t heard the full version of that song in ages…
Too much now, it seems people want to be outrageous with their music, and scream/gutteral or primal screams/ to speak of beating ho’s and killing bros… It’s nice to be reminded of a time where lyrics and barding were the music and not the bling or looks of a person…
Ever wonder if Janice Joplin (not exactly a pretty person) would ever get a chance to sing now?? I think she’d get passed over faster than dropping molten lead…
Kera foehunter:
yea it was a diffrent time
but to lose buddy Hollie the big bopper would tend to make you think they day the music died
since it was not due to drugs or boze

I think she'd get passed over faster than dropping molten lead..Reminds me of one time I saw American Idol try outs (yes I've watched a few times due to abysmal tv schedules) and there was a woman who could be described as fairly large. Not as grossly obese as some people (I'm looking at you Americans) but still a fairly stout person and Simon Cowell, I think it was, told her something like "I'm going to vote you through based on your ability to sing, but your looks would probably be a problem in the current 'music' environment". Sad but true.

I think the Killdozer cover was a lot better. Also, this song is forever linked to my extreme phobia of skiing/snowboarding.

I haven't heard the full version of that song in ages..Nah, if you listen to some good rap (yes, it exists) there's a lot of the visuals and aspects of older 60s-70s music in there. I think you seem to be picking and choosing some of the more outragous choices.

Kera foehunter:
well at least before the end of the 70s
people had to play there music!! not stand up and lipsink
they are mostly sell outs to the business( pimp out) good looking people that can’t sing for sh**
or the recording co. tell us what they think we should like

There’s lots and lots and lots of incredibly good music nowadays, there really is. Just because it’s not on the radio doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Just because it's not on the radio doesn't mean it's not there.I completely agree, in any era of mankind we have never had available such an amount of good quality music like today, it's just up to you to search it! :)

@ two_heads-talking: Janis might get some resect just look at Amy Winehouse.
Kera foehunter:

ans amy can fall down in the house
two_heads_talking:
As long as you aren't playing he Madonna version of the song.well, you have a point there.. but amy is anarexic while janis was pleasantly plump.. the world seem ok with skin and bones, but if you are the least bit heavy, they really take a bad look at you (here's my dig at you Europeans...too damn skinny)

I was talking about the bluesy music styles of Janis and Amy not looks.

Anyone like Comatose - Skillet?

There is always someone out there publishing great music, you just have to hunt in the right places. A shame there is n’t a John Peel equivalent around here. The general public buys what the they hear on the radio and tv, which is why Jackson’s music has suddenly surged.
