	I have heard, and who am I to prejudge the veracity of unfounded
	rumors, that "Killing me softly" is bout Don McLean's song,
	"The day the music died", which, I am lead to believe is about the
	plane crash  which killed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper.

It was my understanding that "Killing me softly" was written about an entire
performance given by Don McLean and not any particular song.

By the way, when you say "The day the music died" could you possibly be
thinking of an obscure little song called "American Pie"?
