THE BIG INTERVIEW WITH DAN RATHER
AXS TV, 8:00 p.m. ET
Tonight’s interview guest is Don McLean. As the 1970s began, McLean burst onto the scene with two fabulous, inescapable songs: “American Pie” and “Vincent.” Both of them had to do with the impact specific artists had on him – Buddy Holly in the first, Vincent Van Gogh in the second. I’d gladly watch an entire TV hour devoted to just those two songs, and tonight, I hope to.
