		Understanding American Pie - Interpretation of Don Mclean's epic song to the passing of an era.
		But this was no ordinary song, either: boldly original and thematically ambitious, what set American Pie apart had a lot to do with the way we weren't entirely sure what the song was about, provoking endless debates over its epic cast of characters.
		It is across this decade that the American cultural landscape changed radically, passing from the relative optimism and conformity of the 1950s and early 1960s to the rejection of these values by the various political and social movements of the mid and late 1960s.

	Understanding American Pie: Chorus
		A primary key to understanding American Pie can be found here in the chorus, as the theme of America's lost innocence is most clearly stated.
		"Miss American Pie"* is "as American as apple pie," so the saying goes; she could also be a synthesis of this symbol and the beauty queen Miss America.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of American Pie
		AMERICAN PIE unexpectedly turned out to be one of the biggest hits of 1999; one of the main reasons that it made such a ton of money is that while it's a teen gross-out comedy, it's also surprisingly tender, intelligent and authentic.
		Deliberately, though AMERICAN PIE is contemporary, it looks and plays like it's set at some time in the past, maybe as far back as the early 1960s, since it's obvious that even AMERICAN GRAFFITI and played some part in the creation of this movie.
		There are a lot of first-time-director flaws in AMERICAN PIE, including one rarely encountered in a studio movie: the sound is crummy.

		The original Derby pie is said to have been a specialty of the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Ky., in the 1950s, and was later marketed by the Kern family under a now-registered and heavily defended trademark, Derby-Pie.
		Unlike the Kerns' pie, which is made with finely ground nuts and a thin layer of chocolate, Stevens' Race Day pie is made with a thick nougat-like filling of chocolate and pecans — and of course, some of her distillery's bourbon.
		Traditionally made with raisins (because they were in the pantry and didn’t spoil), funeral pie can be made with any non-seasonal dried fruit, plumped in a bit of water and then folded into a simple filling of butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and a bit of lemon rind.

	Don McLean's American Pie
		Initially inspired by his memories of the death of Buddy Holly in 1959, ‘American Pie’ is autobiographical and presents an abstract story of Don McLean’s life from the mid 1950s until when he wrote the song in the late 1960s.
		It is almost entirely symbolised by the evolution of popular music over these years and represents a change from the lightness of the 1950s to the darkness of the late 1960s.
		Most mainstream analyses of American Pie are at least partly based on Bob Dearborn's interpretation of the song that he produced for his radio show in 1971.

	Understanding American Pie: Conclusion
		As American culture was transformed through the decade of the 1960s, the popular entertainment of the day registered these changes, just as it always has.
		In identifying its frequently overlooked theme of America’s lost innocence, the meaning of American Pie becomes more evident, as its cast of characters are better placed in their historical and cultural context.
		But it is also this ambiguity that has generated so much debate, and that has kept American Pie on the pop culture map these many years.

		I guess what really sets mine apart is that it was unquestionably the FIRST analysis of "American Pie," and because I was on such a powerful, influential radio station in a major market, it got press coverage and distribution beyond all others that came later.
		They were "girl-next-door," "as- American- as- apple- pie" types, who, like the music and fun of that era, seem to have disappeared, according to the author.
		As American Pie's story of musical evolution moves into the mid to late 60's, McLean calls attention to the popularity of drug songs, like the Byrds' "Eight Miles High." Meantime, "the Jester was on the side-lines in a cast." Bob Dylan was hospitalized at the time as a result of a near-fatal traffic accident.

		Being a sequel, American Pie 2 doesn't retain the freshness of the original, nor is it as funny.
		American Pie 2 is hardly sophisticated, but it's as inspired as teen sex comedies get.
		I had a good time at American Pie 2, maybe because the characters are broad comic types, well played; the movie feels some sympathy for their dilemmas, and because it's obsessed with sex.

		Americans seeking fun in the years after World War II found a good measure of it in pizza, a food that when eaten correctly (a matter of some debate among 1950s advice columnists) forced the diner’s lips into a broad smile.
		Americans who ate at any one of the country’s rapidly proliferating pizzerias (the number of parlors in the United States skyrocketed from 500 in 1934 to 20,000 in 1956) enjoyed a pie that cut a neat compromise between the traditional Italian pizza and Good Housekeeping’s “Yankee” variety.

	American Pie Movie Review by Anthony Leong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		"American Pie" certainly delivers the goods when it comes to supplying enough lewd material to keep the kids talking for the rest of the summer.
		With "American Pie", if one strips out the scatological humor, what remains is little more than a cliché-infested teenage sex-quest with mildly interesting characters and predictable plotting.
		Since the beginning of this year, "American Pie" has been hyped as the 'next big thing', a film that would forever change the teen comedy genre.

	Understanding American Pie: Short biography of Don McLean.
		American Pie, released in 1971 by United Artists, remains his most popular album, selling millions of copies on the strength of the title song alone.
		But American Pie held other treasures, too: most notably the next single, "Vincent"—; his tribute to the tortured 19th century post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh, whose self inflicted death at the end of a remarkably prolific yet tragic career inspired McLean to produce one of his finest compositions.
		1972's autobiographical Don McLean was a reaction to the success of American Pie and the pressures it had placed on his personal life.
