Buddy Holly (September 7, 1936 – February 3, 1959)
“Buddy, I can still see you with that shy grin on your face
Seems like your hair was always a little messed up, kinda out of place
Now not many people actually knew you, or understood how you felt
But just a song from, just a song from you could make the coldest heart melt“
Eddie Cochran, Three Stars

This is the Buddy for January 30th. It was 65 years ago today that the four boys from Liverpool performed their concert on a London rooftop.
I'm a bit illiterate when it comes to music, so I have to rely on mainstream perception, and everyone pretty much agrees that The Beatles are the greatest band of all times. Then again, I'm a kind of mainstream in the interests I'm more knowledgeable about, and I usually have a lot of respect for the greatest-of-their-field clichès, even if they're not necessarily my favorites: Orson Welles for movies, Jack Kirby for comics, Osamu Tezuka for manga, Shakespeare for literature, and so on...
In some cases that's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy - there might be thousands of manga better than Tezuka's stuff, but I've never heard of them because they weren't translated. I know Yoshihiro Tatsumi produced several book-length stories that were never translated.
But, I don't know much about the Beatles, themselves. All I know is:
They were not actual beetles, but human beings. The name of the band comes from both the "beat" style of their music, and as a reference to Buddy Holly's band, The Crickets.
Pete Best was kicked out of the band just before they got super famous, and replaced with Ringo.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
According to legend, Paul died in the sixties and was replaced by a lookalike.
The guy who owned the famous LMW 281F Volkswagen from the Abbey Road cover hated the Beatles.
Jared Leto gained a million pounds to play the crazy who killed John in a terrible movie.
They had a concert on a rooftop once.
So, in honor of the Beatles, a band I've heard about, today's Buddy's traced from that famous album cover.

That’ll Be The Day - The Crickets
“you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
cause that'll be the day when I die”
it was february third in another lifetime. the centerpieces of the rock n roll scene were killed in a plane crash. twenty two year old buddy holly was among them. the plane took off from clear lake, ia & crashed in cerro gordo county. the plane didn’t even make it out of the fucking state. buddy holly was born in the prime of the great depression & his life ended in iowa. so in a lot of ways it basically ended where it started & vice versa. he was born into a musical family. he opened for elvis. he completely innovated his sound - from country to western to full blown rock n roll. he produced music with norman petty. he had a band - the crickets. he was on the ed sullivan show. he toured australia & the uk. but he didn’t make it out of iowa.
i think rock n roll is a misconstrued concept. most involved with the scene now would argue that twenty seven is the formidable age. but it’s not. it’s twenty two. & it’s twenty two because you’re in the here & now. you’re unstoppable & you can do it all. you can be on tv. you can be on stage. you can front a band. you can get married young. you can call for a plane. it can be brought to you. you can get on the plane. but then you can’t get off.
isn’t that kind of fucked up?
it’s twenty two because that’s in less than a year. it’s always twenty two when you’re a pioneer.
