Wow! Who is buying this stuff? Reported as an anonymous buyer. Yeah, I'd want to remain anonymous. Great, iconic song, but $1.2M?

 

"McLean, 69, said he wanted to release the lyrics to help people understand the true meaning of the song". How benevolent. Good for him!

 

I think I mostly got the lyrics. Story here http://news.yahoo.com/american...-york-150535182.html

McLean was once asked 'what is the meaning of American Pie'? He replied it meant he never had to work again.
