The Music Died

Amidst the democratic primary in April 2007, Jake Tapper made reference to the day the music died on his blog… “I’m told this is the airport where the plane crash took place that took the lives of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. Their last show was at Surf Ballroom in nearby Clear Lake. Their plans went down about six miles away, the woman at the Northwest Airlines counter tells me. ‘Bad weather,’ she says. The day the music died: February 3, 1959.”

And I commented…

I always wondered why that day was considered “the day the music died.” Was it because three young music stars all died at once? That is probably the reason, right?

I still like that one (but I never posted it here, until now).
