The Day the Music Died

On a cold day in December, an 18 - year - old soldier stood on a wet road in Vietnam, and he was ready to sacrifice his life for his country. His last sentence is very simple, "Freedom is never free", as bullets silently ended his short present. For our country's politicians and business leaders, the current Iraq war is interpreted as a billions of dollar-scale terrorist war consuming the United States. For the families of the soldiers currently stationed in Iraq, I wondered if the war brought them life for just reason.

Today 59 years ago, an airplane accident became headline news. It is called the day of the end of music. In 1971, Don McLean immortalized him with a song that reviewed 30 years of music. I thought that we used my song to know this day. People and events can change the world but music exists ... I think that we focus on thinking and of course analysis. Our song is reviewing the history of about 3000 years.

Through the classic, a specific phrase "the day the music disappears" is repeated. According to McLean, music is certainly dead. What do you think? Some tragic events occurred from the 1950s to the 1960s, some believe that the progress of music is stagnating. But I think this is a fake. Please see where the music of today is. Not only are more types of music come from the depths of individual souls but the same music of the McLean generation continues to fill with television broadcasts. Even if music dies, no one keeps making music. Perhaps because today's music is lower than McLean's music of the 50's, it is a prerequisite for his song. But I think that the music never goes away, it does not last forever.

Richardson of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P (The Big Bopper) was murdered on February 3 in an airplane accident at Clear Lake, Iowa. It is called "The Died the Died" and is commemorated by the 1972 hit Don McLean's "American Pie". All three are in the popular peak, and in 12 months we sell over 10 million records worldwide. Holly formed a band for winter tours, a guitar by Tommy Allsup, a drum by Carl Bunch, and a base "The Crickets" by Waylon Jennings. Waylon Jennings gave up on sitting on a small airplane and got on the bus. Holly jokingly said to Jennings: "I hope your bus freezes." Jennings said jokingly: "I hope your 'OL' plane will crash.
