50 years today

[Murf]

50 years ago today is when "The music died."

It's from the song "American Pie" by Don McLean

They are talking about this event.

"On February 3, 1959, a plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson) from a concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, crashed soon after takeoff. There were no survivors."

Just thought this was interesting.
