Guys, have another listen, it won't hurt. My jaw dropped at the end!
What the hell is wrong the the education system over there! Is America slowly losing it's way in the world?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
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.

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.
<insert profound quote here>
Maybe it alienated itself intentionally, and is now more comfortable with itself after having been held in contempt by something like the general public.

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. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius |
