Isn't a pop music songwriter the best job in the world? You get super rich and can stay anonymous.

Was told the guy who played TC in the original Magnum PI series died. ONJ passing probably overshadowed this news.

That'll be the Day is a great song and I have no real problem with it being the Buddy Holly & the Crickets signature song, but I have a slight preference for Oh Boy.

No objection to that as Oh Boy is a great tune.

My video selection was biased to a live cut so we could see Mr. Allison in action.

Fixed for LKJ

Let’s not gloss over the fact that Buddy Holly was the original cool cat with the ‘55 sunburst Stratocaster.

I was part of a really lame attempt at Guinness book of wold records involving Buddy Holly. The song was Peggy Sue.

"On September 8, 2001, 48,000 people in Lubbock, Texas, tried to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by singing this at the Texas Tech-New Mexico football game. Horn-rimmed glasses like Holly used to wear were distributed to get them in the mood. The day before the game is when Holly would have turned 65."

It was bunch of college age kids in 2001. I don't think anybody knew the lyrics well enough to actually sing along.

Edit: Didn't remember the date until now. That was some bad timing immortalizing somebody that died in a plane crash.

Gorbachev passed away at 91.

"He's no Abe Lincoln." - some right wing poli-sci prof I had back around 90 or 91. He was right, but now they're both dead.

I would have too, except I'd suspect anyone offering it knew something.

Yeah, you're right. It was just a knee jerk reaction.

If by reasonable you mean incompetent, then ok. He inherited a bad situation - and by bad I mean systemic, the Soviet Union was never going to last as it was - and did little improve it. No matter if that "improvement" would have been a lasting government or a betterment for the people. No one rose to the top of the USSR by being "reasonable".

Most of the world thought he was reasonable. Except Russians of course.

E. Bryant Crutchfield, inventor of the Trapper Keeper.

I mention this only because when I heard a story about him on the radio yesterday, I was between Leadville and Minturn, which I think it just over the mountain from South Park.

After Perestroika, I believe most people no longer lived with that kind of fear.

Until just this year of course, when the current Russian leader brought back that fear.
