yeah, I think tvland ran the Buddy Holly story yesterday afternoon... Damn, Gary Bussey was good n it...
 
I wonder how many people under 30 have ever heard of Buddy Holly or even know the story. If you fit that catagory, do yourself a favor and rent the movie.

Under 30? I'm 41 dont really know who he is or his story. Is he the one who died in a plane crash? I guess I know what I'll be watching this weekend. Those of you who are celebrating his life and accomplishments. I am raising my metaphorical glass with ya!
 
Hey Mike! Good to see you're still alive.

The Buddy Holly thing... think of it as if Kurtis Blow, George Clinton & The Gap Band when down after they had a few hits. :-\
 
The studio and production quality of 50 year old Holly hits have stood the test of time and still sound incredible. Holly invented the formula for which later became the British Invasion of 4 and 5 member groups. The Beatles name was inspired by Holly's group "The Crickets". The Hollies were named in his honor. Although the movie was excellent, Holly's widow had creative control that altered some factual history. The Crickets were a 4 man group. In the film they were a trio. There was no mention of Norman Petty in the film. Petty produced Holly's hits. Regardless, the Buddy Holly influence is still felt today. For those of you under (pick an age) listen to Peggy Sue, Everyday, Rave On, Maybe Baby, That'll Be The Day and appreciate how perfect the studio quality is knowing that they were recorded in the late 50's with no where near the technology we have today. Great simple lyrics that work and just roll off your tongue.
