This morning, I’m truly enjoying this Des Moines Register interview with @donmcleanonline who was crushed by the news. On American Pie: “The song is not about Buddy Holly... It’s about America." desmoinesregister.com/story/entertai…

"Because the music only dies if someone decides to stop playing it." A look at the last concert hall Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and “the Big Bopper” played before they were killed in a plane crash 60 years ago today, via Matthew Leimkuehler desmoinesregister.com/story/entertai…

On the way to Seattle this past summer, Paul V. stopped us at the crash site. I don’t think I shared these publicly, but today is probably the day to do it. The glasses mark it from the road, then you follow a path between two corn fields to the site. #TheDayTheMusicDied

Buddy Holly would have been 84 today 🎂 "Buddy Holly was the first one that we were really aware of in England who could play and sing at the same time - not just strum, but actually play the licks" 🎸

Buddy Holly and Little Richard, 1950s

Happy birthday to one of the most influential figures in music history- the legend, Buddy Holly.

Thanks St. Louis for a great night!

One of last photos of Buddy Holly, today 1959, performing at Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa, Winter Dance Party, before his death with the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens in plane crash the next morning:

"I wanted to know more than just, 'He got on the plane.'" Had a fascinating conversation with the legendary Don McLean on the 50th anniversary of "American Pie" & how an Everly Brother inspired his iconic tribute to the day the music died. azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…
