Classic Music Friday: BUDDY HOLLY

No, it's not the Weezer song, though I like that one a lot too. I figured I'd go way back for this week's classic track. Here's Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" which came out in 1957...

Great choice

‘’Maybe Baby’’ is one of my all time fave’s.Great intro on ‘’Oh Boy’‘.This guy was so huge influencing Rock n Roll,but sometimes he gets overlooked by the average fan.The Gary Busey movie where he played Buddy is really great.
Up until several years ago I never knew that Don Mclean’s ’’American’’ Pie was about Buddy Holly’s death.Thanks,you made my day Nico.

My dad...

…is a huge Buddy Holly fan. As a kid he took me to see “The Buddy Holly Story” the Broadway musical. I’m not much into that kind of stuff typically, but the music played was all live and it made quite the impression on me. Buddy Holly is one of the few places my tastes intersect with my father’s.

Respect to the pick and the artist...

…but another “classic” (just for you young’ns that refuse to acknowledge the Pumpkins as classic now) I just am not into. His influence and death were felt everywhere, and sometimes peeps forget the holy trinity of that time (okay, embellishing there) died in the plane crash; The Big Bopper (HEY! That’s what I like!) and Richie Valens along with Holly. It was truly a day when the music died.

Much respect to you too Nico for this stroll down memory lane. And no, I’m about five years too young to have been alive then.

It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.

good call, truly "classic" almost "antiquated"

good show the other night dude, and I totally need to listen to my elders when they say, “she looks like trouble”
