So let me get this straight hepcats. The day the music died is when 3 Mids took an ill advised prop plain trip through terrible weather and crashed?Buddy Holly is the only Cat on that list that even had a #1 hit! Like I'm sad for them and their families and sorry it happened but they were all barely even fucking relevant to music! Did any of them even define any genres? Fucking no!
Buddy Holly was legitimately ahead of his time, his sound is more reminiscent of the 60s than the 50s and he died right as he was getting more involved in the Greenwich Village Bohemian scene just before he died. His death is a legitimately tragic loss since people speculate that if he hadn't died then his career would've gone in some legitimately insane and experimental directions.
>>130068754Ask Don McLean. He coined the term in his song.
>>130068798>if he hadn't died then his career would've gone in some legitimately insane and experimental directions.LOL he was thinking about starting a new career as a country singer because he, like everyone else, thought that rock'n'roll was a short-term fad that was about to die any day soon.
>>130068754Big Bopperchads...our response?
>>130068798Like 90% of Cats only know Buddy Holly from that Wheezer song.
>>130068851Nobody can even fucking name a Big Bopper song.
>>130068754There is no way Richie Valens was only 17. No fucking way.
>>130068824So ask a Mid writing a song about Mids?
>>130068899He was only 17 you sick fuck
>>130068754No one called it "the day the music died" until the American Pie song. It had been acknowledged as a loss but that song weaving it in with this whole postwar Americana tapestry is what really transformed it into a mythic tragedy.
>>130068851>>130068880First rapper ever.Also the first music video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b-by5e4saI
>>130068990>First rapper ever.Bruhhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpUsQq4Kv90
>>130068754>has done fuck all throughout my life>suddenly got older than these people would ever be>mfw i'm not even 30yo yet
>>130068754So this is more like the day White peoples' music died.
>>130068754It didn't happen in a vacuumBetween 1958 and 1960:>Elvis got drafted>Little Richard switched to gospel>Eddie Cochran died>Chuck Berry went to prison>Jerry Lee Lewis become a persona non grata
>>130069091>tfw you're older than every member of the beatles when they broke up
>>130068990i look like that and answer the phone like thathis son was moving his dads body in the early 2000s so he asked for an autopsy to be done because of rumors about his fathers death. they were having trouble opening the coffin but when they finally did they heard... HELLLLLLOO BABY!!!!
>>130069206Thank you for acknowledging that rock is a white invention.
>>130069312>tfw older than when lead singer left started their solo career after having 3 successful albumsSometimes I'm just amazed how someone can be in their early 20s and accomplish so much.
>>130069373they didn't have the internet and social media to distract them by tricking them into focusing on trivial bullshit which allowed them to pour their time and effort into something meaningful instead
>>130068899bopper looked like he's some fat 50yo and he passed away at 28yo
>>130069313>YOU KNOOOOOW HOW I DIED
>>130069389True, I forget about that. Reminds me that so many musicians wikis always say they spent their spare time reading books or going places around their city.
>>130068754>midBruh... Buddy Holly literally helped inventing music by serving as inspiration for The Beatles, who thanks to him went from a lame hillbilly imitation band to the greatest Band of all time.
>>130069395probably lied about his age
>>130069373Stevie Wonder would've been memorable enough if he died at 20yo when you think about it. Glad he has lived well
>>130069313Why would they shoot a man before crashing his plane?
>>130071305thats what his son wanted to find out.
>>130071305probably got sick of him
What I'm basically hearing is "The Day the Music Died" was a marketing scheme Don McLean used to make American Pie a hit.
>>130071305He was a big guy. >>130071368>>130071571Welcome!
>>130071305The Big Bopper's music just sucks THAT much
>>130073018Marketing scheme? It's a line in a song.
>Bopper?
Is it true Buddy Holly did not even need to wear glasses he was one of the first dudes that wore them as a fashion statement?
>>130068754Ritchie Valens was unironically really great though.
>>130069091you and every other faggot on here. its not like its abnormal to be a loser at 30.
>>130068754Buddy Holly was mid, none of his songs were that great. Weezer owe their entire career to him.Buddy Valens wrote La Bamba which is a stone cold classic. The only real loss here.Buddy Bopper was a literal who. No one has ever heard a single song by him and no one wants to.
>>130071305buddy holly was a known drug dealer/user thats why he was always packing. they were freebasing in the plane which caused it to crash.
this nigger is hating on the Big Bopper. fuck you brown nigger
