Don McLean

“When no hope was left inside On that starry, starry nightYou took your life as lovers often doBut I could have told you, VincentThis world was never meant For one as beautiful as you.”

“No angel born in hell could break that satan's spell.”

“I saw satan laughing with delightThe day the music died.”

“songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence.”
