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

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...

yeah Don McLean, you fucking douchebag

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.

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

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.

20 seconds ago today i thought about replying to this thread again. and i did.

this thread has been tainted by weezer

haha, easy easy....imagine if Rivers died after pinkerton came out...

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

I bet there's a Tool song somewhere...
