I never heard this song until I heard it at the Buddy Holly museum. Great stuff, this. So much music of today is jaded and joyless, so it’s always nice to hear these early rock’n’roll songs that are fun, funny and makes you feel good.
And Ritchie Valenz was only 17 when he died. Out of all rock star deaths, I’d say that Ritchie, Buddy & The Big Bopper might be the saddest.
One of the places I visited in Texas was the Buddy Holly museum. It was quite nice, though at the time I had no idea he died @ 22. I knew he died young, but not THAT young.

Maybe the band with the grossest name ever, but I love this sludgy metal stuff.
Another 180! 60s bubblegum pop is one of my favorite genres and few do it better than Herman’s Hermits.
I dig this old school thrash stuff.
