This date,

since 1959, has become known as

The Day the Music Died

Those of us who love music, particularly the various types of rock music, lost musical genius that day. God rest them.

(It is also, and more importantly to me, the anniversary of the death of a great friend, Dan Campbell, who died in 2008. I think of him often and miss him a lot. Rest in the peace of the creator, Dan, and know that people here remember you fondly...)
