  Kirk McLean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kirk Alan McLean was born in Willowdale, Ontario (now part of Toronto) on June 26, 1966.
It was from there that McLean's career took off, as he set a number of franchise records for the Canucks, and appeared in National Hockey League All-Star Games in 1990 and 1992, and was named first runner-up for the Vezina Trophy (for outstanding goaltender) for the 1991-92 NHL season.
McLean will always be known for his stellar play as a Vancouver Canuck and perhaps one of the greatest Canuck goalies of all time.

Kirk McLean was on his way to the bench to be replaced by a sixth attacker when he suddenly turned around and poke-checked the puck away from a Toronto forward, saving what would have surely been an empty-net goal.
The Canucks were 4-0 in extra time so far in the playoffs, but in the 18th minute of this period Kirk McLean came out to play the puck up to the neutral zone but instead played the puck right onto the stick of Leafs forward Peter Zezel.
The assault on McLean continued as the Rangers went for the kill, but he was showing no cracks in the armor.

Don Mclean is singing about those books of the bible, he simply has come to the conclusion that the message to him is that the church bells all are broken.
Kirk's theory is very interesting...and makes for some thought-provoking conversation...but I think even Don McLean himself could explain word-for-word and line-by-line what the song is about and Kirk would still think that the song is really about the Bible.
Hi Kirk, do think I have heard an interview where Don did say AP was writen in bibical sense, but think he ment as the history of music (not sure it's all about rock!!!), and of course he will never explain the meaning (as he dosen't on any song).
