It is a precedent that every twenty years the quirked up white boy with glasses will return and take its form within the music world. Sorry I don't make the rules

Completely forgot to post these here but probs one of my best pieces of The Walten Files!
Chris Easterday was referenced with Jimi Hendrix! I wanted to keep the musician face claim kinda inline with the rest of twf characters for fun! (felix in twf is edited photos of Buddy Holly)
Again this piece remained a bit unfinished,,,pls expect this with my art from now on,,(-3-)

Rivers Cuomo was my English teacher. I tried to play Buddy Holly in front of class to impress him. I failed, because I do not know how to play guitar.

In Terry Pratchett's Soul Music, a literal band of misfits accidentally introduces rock and roll to the Discworld. They call it "music with rocks in" because the drummer is a troll who bangs rocks together. The lead guitarist is a curly-haired bard named Imp y Celyn, a fantasy name in a gibberish language Terry Pratchett invented called Welsh, which roughly translates to "Bud of the Holly." He quickly adopts the stage name Buddy.

(I'm only 250 pages in, but the narrator has already mentioned "the day the music died," so Buddy might want to avoid airplanes (if such things exist on the Discworld))
The band that plays the music with rocks in, appropriately named the Band With Rocks In, has such hits as
Don't Tread On My New Blue Boots (Blue Suede Shoes, 1955)
Good Gracious, Miss Polly (Good Golly, Miss Molly, 1958)
Sto Helit Lace (Chantilly Lace, 1958)
They're clearly supposed to represent the early days of rock music, but they have the aesthetic and fans of 1970s punk rock mixed with 1980s glam rock; lots of sequins and glitter and leather and mohawks, and the philosphy that louder is better. The celibate wizards of Unseen University turned red in the face when they heard that some of the lady fans had started throwing their unmentionables onto the stage, which is a considerable feat when you remember the average fantasy costume has like 10 layers.
I'm interested to see where this goes.

Buddy Holly (1936-1959) The Crickets - lead vocals and guitar Songs: "That'll Be the Day," "Oh Boy!" Propaganda: none
Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) solo Songs: "New York, New York," "Fly Me to the Moon" Propaganda: "Honestly, he feels like THE hot old man musician to me." "My grandmother used to go see "Frankie" in Jersey City when he was just getting started. She had a crush on him for nearly 80 years."
Visual Propaganda for Frank Sinatra:
