Psalm 137:1, by the way, is "Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept as we thought of Jerusalem."
What is the relevance of that verse to Don McLean?
Was he Christian or Jewish? Or neither? Or both?
He has another song that mentions Babylon called Aftermath? What does Babylon mean to him?
I know that to the Rastafarians (a religion that originated in Jamaica, to whom Bob Marley belonged) the word "Babylon" is very negative... associated with the evils of the modern world and materialistic society, etc.
It would be interesting to know if maybe Don McLean knew about Rastafarianism? This record did come out in the 70s when Jamaican Reggae music was being first introduced to the U.S.
It's more likely it is from a Judeo-Christian standpoint, but who knows?

No really, does anyone know?
