The Day The Music Died by Quinton Skinner
In the pre-dawn hours of February 3 1959, just five years after Rock and Roll first exploded on the scene, three of its brightest lights were extinguished. The electrifying, seventeen year old performer Ritchie Valens, the outrageous, leopard-print jacketed Big Bopper and headliner Buddy Holly, the brilliant rock and roll innovator, all died in a small plane crash. Though they were silenced forever, their music is immortal.
Martin Huxley is the author of Rolling Stone's Alt-Rock-A-Rama, Psychedelia: The Long, Strange Trip, and books on Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Nine Inch Nails. He has written about music and popular culture for Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Mademoiselle, Melody Maker, New Musical Express, and many others.
