The Day the Music Died

If you are a rock-and-roll buff, you probably know that today marks the 50th anniversary of the untimely passing of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper). They crashed in a small plane after playing a concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. To quote The Righteous Brothers, they must have a hell of band in Rock and Roll heaven.
