NATIONAL THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED DAY

The Day the Music Died Day is always observed on February 3rd. This day we remember the unfortunate and untimely death of singers 22-year-old Buddy Holly, 17-year-old Richie Valens, and 28-year-old J. P. Richardson, aka: “The Big Bopper”. These three artists died in an airplane accident on February 3, 1959, near Clear Lake, Iowa. Their pilot, Roger Peterson, also perished in the crash.

But February made me shiver,
With every paper I’d deliver,
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the music died.

  Her cover of the Everly Brothers hit, “When Will I Be Loved” is part of my musical DNA. It hit 1975 and 76 like a hurricane.

    It ruled the summer of 75. Arcades, malls, bars, every “rock” station in existence, you couldn’t escape it.

  My older brother brought home the 45 in about ’66 or 7, I think. I dug it then, and still do.

Die Antwoord, South Africa’s biggest rap band, just cracks me up. And no, they’re not entirely serious, they’re totally riffing on South Africa’s version of Britains “CHAV” culture, “Zef.”

  Their first hit, which went YouTube viral, and made them, was this little dittiy:

  Vulcans, when we approach Pon Farr, prefer not to talk about…
  - notisaidthepig
    
    I am not understanding anything today. What? I have no idea what Pon Farr means….though I do like this song. What does it mean? It is a Star Trek reference?
    - Unkawillbur
      
      Lol, yep! The episode that this song tells the tale of, in an oblique way, is a key point in the development of Spock’s character.
      - Unkawillbur
        
        It’s from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “Amok Time”, written by Theodore Sturgeon.

        A great episode. Ah, Theodore Sturgeon. Does anyone even read his stuff these days? Sad, methinks.
      - notisaidthepig
        
        Of course. I should have known this but I was never….geeky enough it seems. Oink!

  Mies house lookalike?
  - notisaidthepig
    
    Huh?

      The house in that video is Miesian–done in the style of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe the famous Bauhaus architect from Weimar and Chicago.

  Just so insanely talented, and so insanely odd. One of my favorites.

    I figured it would go well with the Calexico trio that I also tossed. “All the World is Green” was on the short list as usual. You ever note how many covers there are of that song on utube? Legion.
