for helping put Fender Strats on the map though..

And for pissing off that cac Ed Sulli-cac

There was another side to Sullivan: he could be very quick to take offense if he felt he had been crossed, and could hold a grudge for a long time. This could unfortunately be seen as a part of his TV personality. Buddy Holly became intimately familiar with Sullivan's negative side.

On January 26, 1958, for their second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Buddy Holly and the Crickets were scheduled to perform two songs. Sullivan wanted the band to substitute a different song for their record hit "Oh, Boy!", which he felt was too raucous. Holly had already told his hometown friends in Texas that he would be singing "Oh, Boy!" for them, and told Sullivan as much. During the afternoon the Crickets were summoned to rehearsal at short notice, but only Holly was in their dressing room. When asked where the others were, Holly replied, "I don't know. No telling." Sullivan then turned to Holly and said "I guess The Crickets are not too excited to be on The Ed Sullivan Show" to which Holly caustically replied, "I hope they're damn more excited than I am." Sullivan, already bothered by the choice of songs, was now even angrier.

He cut the Crickets' act from two songs to one, and when introducing them mispronounced Holly's name, so it came out vaguely as 'Hollered' or "Holland." In addition, Sullivan saw to it that the line feed for Holly's electric guitar was turned off. Holly tried to compensate by singing as loudly as he could, and repeatedly trying to turn up the volume on his guitar. For the instrumental break he cut loose with a dramatic solo, making clear to the audience that the technical fault wasn't his. The band was received so well that Sullivan was forced to invite them back for a third appearance. Holly's response was that Sullivan didn't have enough money. Film of the performance survives; photographs taken that day show Sullivan looking angry and Holly smirking and perhaps ignoring Sullivan.

In his book Little Richard said him and Buddy Holly ran a train on a Stripper.

Which is true but like them he died at the height of his fame. Biggie too. They never had a fall off so they'll always be rated above the living. That's who buddy Holly is to old white people

Pac died before he got to his apex....He was just about to make the transition into feature films like Will Smith did after he passed...
Pac would have been much bigger in mainstream america between 96-2001...he died before his prime unfortunately.

THE RAPPER 2PAC died after all eyez on me. His most successful album.

Whether or not he transitioned into feaure films and succeeded is something none of us can say would have happened which in turn adds to his mystique.

No you can't. You can only speculate. Who knows what turn his life would have took.

 

[Whooty Chaser]

Never heard of this goofy looking CAC before. Will old white people get mad at me for not knowing him like they did when I couldn't name the members of the Beatles?
