American Pie was written as a lament over the death of Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens in a plane crash. Just like "Abraham, Martin, and John" in the same era, it was a lament over the sudden change in popular culture.
There was a saying that was cynically popular at the time, "As American as Apple Pie", so this song was saying that our way of life was gone. Rather young sounding, but most Pop Music is as we know. Part of the mood of the time was colored by the Viet Nam war, and there was much uncertainty in our lives. For a young person who was into music, the event was catastrophic.
