Well, that would certainly explain quite a bit..........

Sure it is. Remember when he states something on the MB and everyone goes bonkers, he just 'runs with it'. He did the same thing last week, too, so I think its safe to say we can put this in the joke pile along with the last one. I believe it was the "Kentucky Rain" riot argument, right? Yep, that one and this Buddy Holly business is definitely another ill-timed attempt at humor, Lt. Carmen.

Back on topic....
And without Elvis (who Holly acknowledged changed his country musical direction)Buddy Holly would have sounded like George Jones singing with a Texas accent.
I tried to find you some Buddy Holly forums Brian but there do not seem to be many on the internet-but Topix has a list of Holly subjects to discuss.

I did not look long but I'm sure if you look you can find some since he rules in your opinion.
