The song covers some rock music history. It starts and is centred around the 'day the music died' when Buddy Holly died in the plane crash. It then seems to cover the sixties (I think there is at least one reference to Bob Dylan) and ends with stuff about the devil and 'Jack Flash', maybe referencing The Rolling Stones and Crazy World of Arthur Brown seperately or specifically referring to the death of the hippy dream (another 'day the music died'?) at Altomont when that guy got murdered during the Rolling Stones set.
That's my take on it anyway.
