50 years ago today... rock n roll changed.

scott v · 02.03.2009, 04:45 PM

The wreckage of a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza was scattered across a small area of snow-covered cornfield outside of Clear Lake, Iowa. The plane crashed into the ground suddenly, so most of the smoldering rubble was concentrated in one area. Three passengers — Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, a.k.a. “The Big Bopper” — were ejected from the plane and died on impact, as did the pilot, 21-year-old Roger Peterson.
That happened on Feb. 3, 1959, exactly 50 years ago today.

Sorry, Don McLean, but the music didn’t die...

Didn't Garth Brooks sing American Pie at the Obama Inauguration?

Yes, because people don't give a crap what a song is about, they just like to hear the same old songs over and over again.

At first I thought this was going to be about when Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias landed in Mossel Bay, having sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and the southern tip of Africa, but I realized that was 521 years ago, not 50. Silly me.

It's hard to believe Buddy was only 22. RIP to all of them

Rob Instigator · 02.03.2009, 05:19 PM

buddy was a yuong un, rithcie was like 17, and the big bopper was a pedophile 27.

500 years ago today was the Battle of Diu between Portugal and the Ottoman Empire.

And I'm not trippin' over that, either.

Looking like Buddy Holly is so retro that it is cool.

See Six-String Samurai.

I feel those first two weezer cds are all we ever needed, and people would have called him a genius.
