THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED PART 2

DON McLEAN
Manchester 1975 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Hard Rock Cafe, Manchester, UK; May 25, 1975; Excellent FM broadcast.
The shutdown of Megaupload; and other cyberlockers such as Filesonic and Fileserve becoming pale shadows of what they once were, music fans will once again recall the immortal words of Don McLean.
But the lyrics to McLean’s Bronco Bill’s Lament are no less poignant and apt for these times:
Well you may not recognize my face, I used to be a star,
A cowboy hero known both near and far.
I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar,
But the studio of course,
owned my saddle and my horse…
All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen,
And put you where they choose,
With the language that they use,
And enslave you till you work your youth away,
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
