@izaya the fact that I guessed which song you're talking about without knowing who Don McLean is or that he wrote it underscores the "influential" part.

did McLean come on your radar because of Taylor Swift beating his record of being no. 1 on the charts for however long?

@2ck who?
someone said something about it all going wrong "the day lisp died" on IRC so I s/lisp/the music/ and had to listen to the song again

@izaya I just read about the thing with Swift when I searched Don McLean.

I forget how long this song is. Interesting that he genuinely teared up singing it in the performance I just watched.
