Why? Because these two were uninformed about Don McLean?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Because they couldn't figure out it was about van Gogh. To be fair, Starry, Starry Night is the only real clue you get.

Plenty of clues if you've ever seen the painting, or any painting by van Gogh. And if you know anything about art history or van Gogh's own life there's more still.

I blame the hype machine of the art industry that alienated itself by holding the general public in contempt.

There might be more truth to that than either of us know. The players in that game do like their elitist alure.

How did I, as a dumbass teen in the 70s, know this was about Van Gogh when it came out?
I understand knowing it now as I love his work from his "Blue Period". I had a print of Starry Night until it was ruined during the hail storm from hell in 2016 and I still have a print of "Cafe Terrace at Night" in my kitchen.
