Sunday is my spiritual day, and I many times post on religion.  Life and Death...God...our ultimate future.    Don McLean was recently interviewed,   and while I have written about him on numerous occasions, for his   American Pie   is about the death of Buddy Holly ( 22 ), Richie Valens ( 17 ) and the Big Bopper ( 28 ), this article evoked sufficient emotions as to inspire me to do this one more time. I was not aware that McLean had a premonition when he was 15 that his father was going to die.  A few days later, showing no particular symptoms, he dropped dead right in front of him.  His father was his hero.
