'Something touched me deep inside...'

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of The Day The Music Died. February 3rd 1959 - Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and JP The Big Bopper Richardson die in a plane crash outside of Clear Lake, Iowa. Prompting the music industry to grieve 3 talented musicians who died too young.

I read somewhere that when Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to a sick Big Bopper, Buddy Holly sarcastically said to him something about hoping that their tour bus would freeze. Jennings promptly responded, 'Well, I hope your plane crashes.'
