Regarding Don McClean's domestic violence.

CAMDEN, Maine — “American Pie” folk singer Don McLean and his wife have agreed to dismiss an order of protection case that followed the performer’s domestic violence arrest, his lawyer said Sunday. Cops arrested McLean on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge on Jan. 18. Court records said his wife, photographer Patrisha McLean, filed a handwritten request for protection.
The couple has “agreed to move forward” and dismiss the order of protection case, attorney Walter McKee said. The singer, a resident of tony, coastal Camden, Maine, is pleading not guilty in his criminal case, his attorney said

The first comment after the story was.

He took the Chevy to the levy and then beat up his wife.

I'm just an old rock and roller or maybe a Slow Moving Outlaw these days gosh that's a great a song.

Even so I like to expand my musical horizons. A dear friend brought me back the music of Eros Ramazzotti when she came home from a trip to Italy. One of the most popular artists in Europe. I have now 5 of his CD's

This is favorite of mine I do ride a motorcycle wanting too since I was a kid back on a bicycle

You don't even need to understand the language to understand the video

Talent, yes. But are you sure that's not two homeless guys under a bridge somewhere?

May I humbly suggest going to YouTube and check out Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. 'Todays' music covered in older styles... heck, you can even understand the words! As an example, here is Ellie Goulding's song 'Burn' done as a '60s Girl Group; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZY9_Xr5XPA

Hopefully it'll put a smile back on your face, Mate.

I love Post Modern Juke Box! https://youtu.be/VBmCJEehYtU?list=RDVBmCJEehYtU
