"Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up."

"Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes."

Ouch.

Correction, Jennings gave up his seat on the plane for The Big Bopper because Bopper had the flu. Tommy Allsup is the one who lost the coin flip to Ritchie Valens.

Bye, bye, Miss American Pie......

Buddy Holly had such a huge influence on rock music. He doesn't get nearly as much attention as he should.

And crazy he was only 22 when he died. Valens was freakin' 17. Richardson was the "old" one at 28.

did you guys watch that documentary? Valens didn't look 17, he looked late 20's. that documentary on American pie was decent. i kinda wish he would have discussed the lyrics in detail more, i guess they're not as deep and people believe.
