@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @ChrisChris@theforkiverse.com @aburtch@shakedown.social @jhv@triangletoot.party every time I think of the Byrds I remember the Time Life Records commercials where they play “Turn! Turn! Turn!”
They showed up in a lyric from “American Pie”, “the birds flew off with the fallout shelter / eight miles high and falling fast”
That song could be a semester of “History of Rock 201: 1955 - 1971”

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @ChrisChris@theforkiverse.com @aburtch@shakedown.social @jhv@triangletoot.party american pie had all sorts of nuggets. mclean was bemoaning the direction of commercial music. references to buddy holly, elvis, the beatles, the byrds. loads of speculation on references and even used to be a web site dedicated to analyzing american pie. mclean has always refused to confirm/deny his meanings.
