Don McLean Interview

Don McLean is a household name not only because of the iconic ‘American Pie’ but also 'Vincent', 'And I Love You So' and 'Castles In The Air'. He talked to Tom about the cultural significance of the Kennedy assassination, why he thinks ‘Prime Time’ would make a great rap song, and his record Tapestry being rejected by the label over 30 times.
