American Pie

Yesterday [2/3] was the 49th aniversary of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, and "the Big Bopper". They, of course, the inspiration for American Pie which is undeniably a classic rock and roll song by Don McLean. He was only thirteen at the time of the chrash in '59. I wonder what influence on the rock&roll era those men would have had if they hadnt been on that plane....
