Anybody have any thoughts, comments, Reformed critiques, praises for American Pie (the song, not the movie)?

The song is a mental reflection of my childhood. It was when I was coming of age. A lot happened while this song was a hit; whenever I hear it, a myriad of visions flash before my eyes; some sad, some happy.

I have always struggled though with the various references to the Diety within the song. My conscience won't allow me to utter the verse speaking of the Trinity. Sometimes I wonder if it acceptable (or profitable?) to utilize such music.

That I definitely agree with. I seem to recall hearing a version (by McLean) that does not include that stanza - isn't this one of those songs with a "long version" and a shorter one. A number of songs do that, like Copacabana (Barry Manilow), Light My Fire (The Doors) and Crimson and Clover (Tommy James and the Shondells).
