Don McLean

It would be unfair to call Don McLean a one-hit wonder. For one thing, he had two hits. For another, he still has some popularity; he still tours, and I've seen him on PBS a couple of times. Nonetheless, the success of American Pie is the defining event of his career; I daresay there are actually more people who know, or know of, that song than who know of the singer. And that's unfair. In an admittedly small effort to redress that, I'm going to talk about some of his other songs under the cut.
