I remember everyone singing, “American Pie,” on the school bus growing up. We had a long ride. And, it’s a long song. Though I think we only knew the chorus so we just sang that over and over again. Once BTO put out “Takin Care of Business,” we were on to that.
In any case it was of interest to me to listen (while organizing my study) to Russell Moore’s podcast on the Cross and the Jukebox and his reflections on the meaning of the song, “American Pie.”
Listen here. And, yes, you do get to hear the song.
If nothing else, listen to the Star Wars version at the end!
