Quote from Don Mclean
In the autumn of 1970 I had a job singing in the school system, playing my guitar in classrooms. I was sitting on the veranda one morning, reading a biography of Van Gogh, and suddenly I knew I had to write a song arguing that he wasnt crazy. He had an illness and so did his brother Theo. This makes it different, in my mind, to the garden variety of crazy โ because he was rejected by a woman [as was commonly thought]. So I sat down with a print of Starry Night and wrote the lyrics out on a paper bag. Vincent](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8FEf8yYqMNg/mqdefault.jpg)
