One often hears that Maclean does not like to explain the lyrics to AP. Also, one often sees long interviews with him in which he explains the lyrics in detail.

I wonder how much actual new material or insights there will be here.

I remember when Madonna announced (with seeming pride) that her cover of the song would clock in at a pop-radio-friendly 4 minutes 30 seconds, oblivious to the reality that nobody asked for a sped up version of the song.

That was truly the day the music died.
