The song has as its starting point the day when Big Bopper,Buddy Holly and Richie Valens (three popular rock singers) died in an airplane crash in the 1960s. But it´s not only this. The song speaks about the changes music has gone through since then. There are many references about Beatles, Rolling Stones, Woodstock festival, Bob Dylan and about many facts in American history.
