Well we can agree to disagree. All 3 of those guys were on the flight that crashed "the day the music died" Buddy holly was the most well known. I guess the song was mainly about him, but it was also the loss of all 3 that made is such a big deal.

I was born in 84, and I knew all of those. But I happen to be a trivia wiz, and I know a lot of dumb things that I probably should not.
