Don McLean is a Wonder

Have you ever heard of Don McLean? I bet you probably have and don't even realize it. He did that song "bye, bye Miss American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levee..." and so on. Yes this song. Anyway he's 73 years old now, and was photographed with his 24 year old model girlfriend "Paris Dylan".  I mean...what? I once had a woman that was three years younger than me say I was too old for her. This woman is FIVE DECADES younger than this guy. He's not even really a huge celebrity. I couldn't name one other song he ever did. He's the very definition of the phrase One Hit Wonder. What am I missing here?  At least four wars involving the USA have started and ended since his birth in 1945. She was born in 1994. I don't know, I don't get it, Where's MY 24 year old model girlfriend? I wouldn't even know how to talk to a 24 year old and I'm multiple decades younger than he is. Hell, he's only had one more top ten hit than I've had.  Obviously he knows something that I don't because I don't even know how to get out of this story.
