Loading ...The Day The Music Died
February 3rd marked the 50th anniversary of the “Day the Music Died.” For those of you that haven’t heard “American Pie” by Don McLean or didn’t feel like trying to decipher the cryptic lyrics, here’s the skinny…
Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens died in a plane crash… make sense?
The thing that always strikes me about this story is that Buddy Holly only enjoyed his success for about a year and a half before it was all over. And in that time he wrote a plethora of influential hits, enough so that in 2004, Rolling Stones Magazine ranked Holly #13 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All-Time. It was all based on a year and half of work.
Which brings me around to my point, what if he didn’t die that February evening? More importantly, what would you miss out on if you died on the job. I’ll let you think about that for a little bit… Seems pretty stupid not to wear a harness huh?
