Jerusalem is old, Jerusalem is new, Jerusalem can hold Moslem, Christian, Jew.

Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?

The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.

In the autumn of 1970 I had a job singing in the school system, playing my guitar in classrooms.

I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.

I have no idea how I do anything. I never have. You know I just started playing guitar and started singing and started working on this act that I would call "Don McLean" when I was probably in high school. And I have been doing this for 40 years, adding songs and writing things, cobbling together albums, doing live things, you know, albums and tours. And then I have records on the charts. I have no idea how this happened.

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect Vincent's eyes of china blue.
