Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens

all died 50 years ago today in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa

"The day the music died" - I don't think so.

They're not really gone, as long as we remember them and keep playing their music.

Don't stop rockin' - PLAY IT LOUD AND PLAY IT PROUD!!!

ELVIS COSTELLO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROCK AND FUCKIN' ROLL anyho

RAVE ON!

Has anyone been to see the Buddy Musical?

I must say, it's well worth seeing, I've seen it twice now

And I have "The best of buddy holly".

So yeah, at 21, is this the kind of music I'm supposed to be listening to?

Heh, can't really say much, I can't stand ©rap, or anything of the sort, this kinda thing was real music, shame noone makes it like that anymore.

Since it's 50 years on, it only seems right to say RIP to Buddy, the Big Bopper and Ritchie

Rest in Peace.

like the big bopper. lots of 50s music was really good

Buddy Holly has probably had more influence on modern music than any other musician. We should all pay homage to him and the great music that has inspired so many generations since.

If I had any idea how to make it so I could rip the songs properly, I'd post the Buddy Holly CD I have on here!
