Throwback: Don McLean - Music Legend / American Icon (American Pie) Hey Streetwalkers. This is a throwback episode with American music icon Don McLean. Don's first appearance on the show was 8.13.21 It was such a compelling & fun episode, l decided it needed to be re-visited! Enjoy this throwback episode, tell a friend, and thanks for listening! Don McLean Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Don McLean. Legendary singer / songwriter; Don is most known for his super smash hit AMERICAN PIE, which was released FIFTY YEARS AGO this year! In this episode, Don and I chat about: some of his songs, his new and upcoming projects, including: a new album of originals, a new album of covers, a new documentary, a play, a movie, and a new children's book called "American Pie: A Fable" which drops in October. Then he tells us about the true story behind the hit song "Killing Me Softly"; which is not his song, but has a very interesting connection that I bet you didn't know about. Don was kind enough to let me play some of his classic songs during this episode, as well as one of the covers off of his new album of covers called "Still Playin Favorites". Be sure to check out his website for upcoming tour dates (covid permitting). Don McLean is a legend, a brilliant poet and songwriter; but more importantly, he was a super king and generous to me!

Front view of a vintage Edsel car from the late 1950s, featuring a vertical grille with the name 'EDSEL' spelled out. The car is parked on grass, photographed in black and white with chrome detailing and dual round headlights.

Edsel’s vertical ambition — a front-end icon of 1950s American automotive optimism, now resting quietly on Swedish soil. Chrome dreams faded but not forgotten.

Say what you will, but this brave old man has been saying the exact same shit since the Vietnam war.

IDGAF about your politics, this man's bravery is so undervalued. He's crabby as shit, but he's still fighting his ass off. #Americanicon

As a person I have mixed feelings about #ChuckNorris but as an #AmericanIcon you kind of have to give it up to him. Served in the merchant marines, multiple world championships, and movie star. My favorite thing about his whole mythos is the jokes about how tough he is. My favorites are..
