Buddy Holly Excerpt from Wiki: Following a performance at the Surf Ballroom<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surf_Ballroom>in Clear Lake, Iowa <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Lake,_Iowa>, on February 2, 1959, Holly chartered a small airplane to take him to the next stop on the tour. He, Valens, Richardson and the pilot were killed en route to Moorhead, Minnesota, when their plane crashed soon after taking off from nearby Mason City <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_City,_Iowa> in the early morning hours of February 3. Bandmate Waylon Jennings<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waylon_Jennings>gave up his seat on the plane, causing Holly to jokingly tell Jennings, "I hope your ol' bus freezes up!" Jennings shot back facetiously, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes!" It was a statement that would haunt Jennings for decades.[19]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Holly#cite_note-Jennings-18> Don McLean <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_McLean> referred to it as "The Day the Music Died" in his song "American Pie<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pie_%28song%29> ".
