the day the music died

i know this is a day late, but i didn't even have time to breathe yesterday...
50 years ago yesterday a plane crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper.

a tribute by Don McLean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6uEjifqTaI&feature=related

1970's- More Than A Feelin' - Boston
1980's-Billie Jean-Michael Jackson...Free fallin'-Tom Petty...Jessie's Girl- Rick Springfield....Every breath you take-the Police...okay i'll stop but oh how i love the 80's
1990's- 1979-Smashing Pumpkins...dang, and the 90's
