The day the music really died

This is true. I wonder how many know what we are talking about?

Well it took me awhile to work it out Crispy, I wasn't sure whether you meant the deaths of three members of LS in a plane crash, or the release a week later of the Sex pistols "Never Mind the Bollocks" debut album? I reckon that was the day the music really died, ha ha!

I reckon you all must be so old that you have moss growing on your north sides!

I reckon this could be where opinion might show.

That being said, I figure that it got sick back in the late 60's and died a slow horrible death!

Next!

Later on, Bill

You old timers are funny!

See music began in the 80s for me. While there was good stuff in the 70s, it does not stack to the 80s for me. But all music is good, well all but rap!

The idea for the song was good but Don McLean?

Although you do have a valid point Terry, the clue was in the title

If I was referring to the Sex Pistols, I would have held back with posting until the 28th

I guess it depends what kind of music you are talking about. If it is rock, then I don't think the 80s had the same level of creativity as the 70s did, especially the late 60s and early 70s. Don't get me wrong, there was some good stuff in the 80s. There is good stuff these days, too. The problem is if you depend on the radio stations and record companies, you'll never hear it.

eldar, I know that the different age groups had their own ideas of what was really music.

Folks from my time usually refer to the days the music died as the day that the plane crash took out Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper (or however you spell it) and Ritchie Valens. So, maybe it's died several times.

When I was in junior high school, I had a Beach Boys record "409" and played that one quite often. One day while we were with my Grandparents, my Grandfather told me that, if he heard "409" one more time, he was going to sailed it out over the lake!

Needless to say, I gave it a rest!

You and I also have the same feeling about Rap. I don't go that route either!

We've got a local station that plays 50s, 60's & 70s music. We did have 2 but one died.

Several years ago when all the kids were still at home, I was leaving one Sunday to play golf and one said Dad dresses just like the 60's. Come to think of it, hell, I am the 60's. Good music never dies.

Amen to that. I was forced to grow up with the grunge and pop movement of the 90s. I still listen to some of it, but when I hit highschool I discovered the freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell... The list goes on forever but the party never ends.

30 years ago today the plane carrying Lynard Skinard crashed and killed Ronnie Van Zandt, Steve and Cassie Gaines.

Thanks for that Bobby, I didn't realize. Over the years, there have been quite a few singers (and such) killed in plane crashes. $:-\$ Patsy Cline & Ricky Nelson come to mind also. I can't think of any more right now.

Bill, you can add to that list:

Buddy Holly
Richie Valenz
The Big Bopper
Salena

CrisPDuk · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2007, 11:57:14 PM »

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads and Otis Redding also spring to mind

bill440cars · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2007, 08:22:11 AM »

Hey Bobby, I had forgotten about Salena but I had mentioned the others. Thanks for that though. It seems like there were some more, but I can't think of them now.

The biggest one for me was that of Jim Croce. He was killed in a plane crash in 1973, but I'd never heard his music until my brother bought me the "Time in a Bottle" album in 1977, and I've never stopped playing my small collection of Jim Croce music since.

Had he survived, I'm sure he'd be considered as great a song writer as Bob Dylan, but sadly he was only at the start of his career, when his life was tragically snuffed out. Vale Jim.

Somehow Jim Croce and a SAS man doesn't compute. How is the still working? Making a lot of battery water?

Nah, I was but a lowly Australian Army Commando Bobby, we were a much gentler bunch than those "Chicken Stranglers" from the west, ha ha!

I'm waiting for the warmer weather so I can ferment the "mix" in my garage, the wife won't let me keep it inside after the infamous "home made ginger beer incident" of 1998, ha ha!
