Do you remember the day the music died?

Answer 1

yes .. it was a cold winter morning and I was standing outside my 5th grade classroom listing to people talking about Buddy Holly being killed in a plane crash .. the walls outside were a pale yellow, horizontal wood slats and the door was a double-door with multiple panes of glass. A few of the girls were either crying or on the verge of tears.

I remember feeling strangely unfazed by the news, tho I liked the music.

but it was a cold day and one that somehow became impressed on my memory

and I had already memorized the lyrics to "Chantilly Lace" for some weird reason, tho I never learned any Buddy Holy songs. I don't think anybody mentioned the other two artists that day.

Answer 2

Actually, the "day the music died" predates my birth by two years. I was ten years old when the song was released by Don McLean and remember it clearly for its pathos, longing, and nostalgia. McLean himself has stated that the song is about the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly (That'll Be The Day, Wake Up Little Susie, Peggy Sue), the Big Bopper (Chantilly Lace, White Lightning) and Richie Valens (La Bamba, Donna). It's hard to overstate the importance of these early rock 'n roll artists - their deaths surely robbed the world of more fabulous music.

Answer 3

That's the greatest thing about music, it never dies.

Contrary to popular believe, started out by a fellow Canadian Don McLean, music has not and will never die. Even today, with the reunion of one of, if not THE biggest rock band in history, people who weren't even alive when Zeppelin was last toured were paying in the thousands to see them. Elvis is still a house hold name and so is Beethoven. Music will never die. For true, good music touches people and always will. The musicians may pass away, as the song suggests, but the impact they have made will always live on.

I told you music is a passion of mine.

Answer 4

Yes. It was the day that I learned that my beloved darling Gwenneth had died. All the days that followed merely reinforced that feeling of shock and disbelief. There was no "music" for a long time after that day.

Who could forget that tragic night Buddy Holley,Ritche Valens,The Big Bopper trying to fly on a snowy cold fog night.Just think that Ritche would probably be alive if he didn't switch places with Waylon Jennings.

That happened about eleven years before I was born - but what an event that must have been! Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens all gone, just like that.
