د اکسفورډ یونین سټیشن کې د ډین McLean خبرې کوي

Don McLean is not only known for his songwriting skills, but for his business sense having two business degrees. However, it is more than those few things that make McLean a special individual, it’s his knack for wanting teachable moments.

<pfseg id="0">" تاسو غواړئ چې زما والدین نه پوه شي چې زه غواړم چې د موسیقۍ په کارولو کې ژوند ورکړم. دوی به ترټولو ترټولو ترټولو ترټولو غوره وي چې ما د کالج زده کړې ترلاسه کړي او په کار کې د 9 څخه تر 5 کارونو ته لاړ شي او پوه شي چې زه به د شک په سایې کې چې زه به خپل حسابونه ورکړم. مګر، دا زما لپاره نه وه! موسیقۍ زما نوم راځي او زه باید د دې سره لاړ شي،" د ګرامیم شهرت لرونکي سټینټ سټینټور ډون میکلیان وايي.

McLean was honored to be the guest speaker at the Oxford Union, where so many like Elton John, rapper Common, Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis, Tom Hanks, The White Stripes’ Jack White, former US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, actor Sean Penn, and others have stood behind the podium.

In addition, this weekend proved to become even more of a highlight for McLean as the first American Pope was selected and his hit song “American Pie” blared over the loud speakers welcoming him as Pope Leo XIV.

One day after the Chicago-born Prevost became Pope Leo XIV, the cardinals met on a stage decorated with the Stars and Stripes and a Vatican flag at the Pontifical North American College. The hilltop institution for U.S. seminarians is a short walk from St. Peter’s Basilica, where Leo made his first speech to the world on Thursday evening as the new leader of the Catholic Church’s global faithful of 1.4 billion people.

“I am thrilled beyond belief to know that my song “American Pie” was used to welcome the new Pope into his new role. This song has a different meaning for everyone and was written so people could interpret it the way they wanted to. But, to have the cardinals choose “American Pie” along with “Born In The U.S.A.” as the two songs to highlight Pope Leo XIV coming from America is really something special.”
