Nah. I'm not that interested in the topic, aside from making what appears to be a paltry attempt to share some information. But thanks for the suggestion.

 

sounds like you took it wrong.

that's your choice.

Yes, when I received my flier from the BH Center about their "celebration", I was embarrased that they couldn't strum up some good live music. Lubbock had a prime opportunity to do something really special for the 50th and as far as I'm concerned, they blew it.

 

Fucking Lubbock! :realmad

Has anyone seen The Real Buddy Holly Story?

Just wondered what you thought.

 

I also never really heard much about the big concert in Clear Lake.

I think I might have saw about 5 seconds with a brief mention on the news.

In 1959, rock 'n' roll was young and, depending on your religious affiliation, still dangerous.

 

It wasn't yet big business.

 

How else to explain what a top star like Buddy Holly was doing in Clear Lake, Iowa (pop. 7,800), on a cold winter night 50 years ago this month?
