The Day the Music Didn’t Die

On Feb. 3, 1959, a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza flying in low visibility crashed north of Clear Lake, Iowa. All four aboard were killed: pilot Roger Peterson and rock & rollers Buddy Holly, 22; The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson Jr.), 28; and Ritchie Valens (Richard Valenzuela), 17. The three were stars of the Winter Dance Party Tour of the Midwest. Feb. 3 is called The Day the Music Died, the…

"The print from February 3, 1959, is the only known surviving poster advertising the night’s concert—the tour’s 12th performance. The three musicians died on the way to the show when their single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashed into a cornfield near Clear Lake, Iowa, due to inclement weather.

Unbelievably, the show went on, with 15-year-old Bobby Vee filling in for Holly that night, and his Crickets bandmates, Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup, finishing out the tour’s next two weeks." [x]

On February 3, 1959, American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were all killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. Today is considered the day the music died. These three musicians are a big part of my childhood and the three of them are amazing Singers in my eyes.

Keep heaven rocking guys.

OTD in History

...the music died and the winds of change were ushered in.

And, in 1971, detective Frank Serpico—later immortalized by Al Pacino in the film Serpico—was shot in the face by a drug dealer and left for dead by his fellow police officers; after he called out a ring of cops nicknamed "The Pad" for corruption.

The working class is facing a challenging time as they struggle to make ends meet. In today's society, the cost of living continues to rise while wages often remain stagnant. Many individuals find themselves working long hours, taking on multiple jobs, or even relying on government assistance just to cover their basic needs. The pressure to provide for themselves and their families can be overwhelming, leading to increased stress and financial instability. Housing, healthcare, and education expenses continue to soar, making it even more difficult for the working class to keep up. As a result, individuals may be forced to make tough decisions, such as cutting back on essential items or sacrificing personal well-being to make financial ends meet. It is crucial for policymakers and society as a whole to address these systemic issues and work towards providing support and opportunities for the working class to thrive and achieve financial security.

February 3, 1959

At about 1:00 a.m. CST, about four minutes after taking off from the Mason City, Iowa airport, the chartered airplane containing Buddy Holly (Peggy Sue, That’ll Be The Day), Ritchie Valens (Donna, La Bamba), and the “Big Bopper” J.P. Richardson (Chantilly Lace), crashed into an Iowa field, instantly killing all three and the pilot Roger Peterson. Headed for the next “Winter Dance Party” tour stop in Fargo, North Dakota, the plane had been chartered by Holly so that the band members could travel in heated comfort (their tour bus had a broken heater) and arrive early for the next show. The pilot, not informed of worsening weather conditions, decided to fly “on instruments,” meaning without visual confirmation of the horizon, which led to the crash. Their plane took off a little after 1 AM from Clear Lake, Iowa, when a cold North-East wind gave way to a blinding snow storm which drastically reduced visibility. Encased in a sea of snow with only white below, pilot Roger Peterson seemed to become disoriented and flew the plane into the ground. One wing hit the frozen earth and the small plane tumbled over and over, killing the three musicians and the plane’s young pilot. Richardson was 28, Holly was 22, and Valens was 17.

Don McLean later immortalized the tragedy in his classic song “American Pie,” calling this “the day the music died.”

Holly and “J. P.” Richardson Jr “Bopper” widowed pregnant wives. Holly’s wife miscarried upon the news.
