When will white Americans stop overrating Buddy Holly?

[Drake is God]

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?

You didn't grow up with that music so of course you wouldn't know him that's like expecting me to know about Big L, Eric B and Rakim.

I don't know anyone who grew up in that time period thought the kid was a musical genius. I'll say this while obviously he couldn't hold a candle to any of the Black musicians of the era, him Jerry Lee Lewis were more talented than Elvis.

Buddy is one of the great what ifs in music history.

Whether he stays relevant with the European Invasion (Beatles/Rolling Stones, etc) or if he puts a stranglehold on music where people dont care for that shyt at the time.

I get what OP is trying to say. However, at that time it made sense to hail them like that. Cause the what if is intriguing.

Because they control the narrative. So Buddy Holly is a musical genius who never got his and guy like Stackz Bundlez is a thug

Did buddy Holly have a criminal record and sing about violence?

Man, I saw them on a whim after a food festival with my ex girl. They sold out the entire Rockets stadium. It was actually really good. I was surprised

 

[get these nets]

Disagree.
Rock was the emerging dominant music of that decade, and was fueled by its popularity with the youth market.
3 rising talents dying at the same time tragically would have been a big story. Especially in a world where there were fewer star acts with hit records.

I dont know whether it was real or myth, but I read that Holly had a decent showing and reception at the Apollo. If the story is true, that stamp would mean a lot.

Call her, tell her you heard one of those songs and thought of her

fukk that girl.

I actually saw her on Easter when I went to a bar with my new girl. I waved hi, and she gave me the finger.

My current girl is much hotter than my ex girl. She was mad. It happens
