Some people think the the line "drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry" in American Pie refers to mississippi burning.
very interesting. I didn't know that. There are at least five or six interpretations of the song out there. I remember mine was not widely accepted by the forum at the time, I wonder how the reader's will take to that interpretation. Seems as good as any to me.
As for Mississippi Burning. That was a great movie. And it had a great poster ad at the theaters. When they took it down I got the manager to give it to me, and I cut out the part with willem defoe and gene hackman with that desperate madman's look in their eyes with the huge burning cross in the background, and used it as a backdrop to my 20-gallon fish aquarium. It was fun to get a little bit stoned and watch the gourami swim around in front of weird Dafoe and ugly Hackman with that burning cross behind the water.
