Don McLean’s “American Pie” was one of the first songs I learned the chords to when I first started playing guitar. 5 years later, however, I still have not *learned* the song. I cannot play it on demand if requested at a show (which….sadly, I have not done in a few months…and probably will not until I have some new material…damnit).
I had wanted to try and complete learning it before I moved to the East Coast…but here I am, and still Pie-less. Perhaps I could have taken the massive amounts of free time I have in New Jersey to learn it…but my cousin lent me all three seasons of Battlestar Galactica, which I am frantically trying to finish before I move to NYC.
Bye bye, Miss American Pie indeed.
