Blue Bayou 2, it is a wonderful song. And every single line in it refers to Something in the history of rock and roll.

I wasn't sure, but I had never heard of any actor named Holley, so I chose musician.

Player #45505475, seven charted hits doesn’t mean they all reached #1. Buddy Holly was amazingly talented and clearly influential … but overstate the accomplishment.

Uninitialized, Waylon LOST the coin toss, so he didn't get to go on the plane. Valenz did.
