    It's frustrating at how young he was and how his recording career had only be going for less than 2 years before it ended. It feels like he should be able to finish his career and his life properly but unfortunately that's not how it works. It's awful.

    Don interviewing Maria? Well, it's the natural thing to do when you've written a song about what had happened to Buddy the night of the tragic crash that did him, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper in. February 1959 really made Don shiver.

    People forget that Buddy was on tour because Norman Petty WOULD NOT GIVE HIM HIS MONEY...Petty had his name all over Buddy and the Crickets on every record to make sure he received credit and MONEY for their work and talent. All interviews with Waylon Jennings and Sardo told of how the boys were treated during the winter tour ...the broken down, heatless buses...the crazy zig zag touring schedule....and even when Buddy, Ritchie and the Big Bopper died... the surviving ...shocked...devasted musicians were promised money and tickets to get them to Buddy's funeral were all lies...they had heartless conniving managers ONLY interested in getting their money for the tour while these young musicians were being EXPLOITED....GREED KILLED Buddy, Ritchie and the Big Bopper. Maria Elena is only defending her husband's legacy from the greedy Norman's of the music industry....if Lubbock isn't happy with MEH perhaps the city representatives are not negotiating with her because she's Hispanic , and a woman ...so they do not respect her enough to offer a fair deal for a Buddy Holly event. Lubbock was not like Buddy ....accepting of all people regardless of race, he had to intervene for his back friends at hotels and restaurants and for Matia Elena, as well...reason why MEH never wanted to settle in Lubbock...they didn't like her when Buddy was alive and obviously much less after his death. I don't blame MEH for holding her ground with greedy Norman's. Here in the RGV of TX...God bless y'all's hearts.

    I grew up in Lubbock, TX and I've seen first hand the politics surrounding a city that would love to properly honor Buddy Holly and the greedy roadblock that is Maria Elena. The city of Lubbock has planned on many occasions to hold an annual Buddy Holly Festival. You can only imagine the roster of live acts from all over the world who would love to participate and perform at such an event. Not to mention the tourism that would be a such a boost to the Lubbock economy. When the city of Lubbock opened negotiations for the use of Buddy's name for the festival, she demanded so much money that it became impossible to even pay for it, and all plans had to be abandoned. In fact, for over 50 years, almost every plan that Buddy's hometown ever conceived to honor him had the same results - with the exception of a small museum call the Buddy Holly Center and naming a street after him.

    Okay so two possible scenarios. Maria was pregnant and lost the baby. Or she wasn’t and made the whole thing up so she had ammo to sue, which she did and won $$$.Because of that, legislation was passed making it mandatory for law enforcement to tell loved ones before telling the press. I think it’s awful the way she found out.

      Actually, Buddy's family found out about his death over the radio. So did Ritchie Valens' family. So sad. I think there was some legislation passed, but even in 1985 Ricky Nelson's daughter, Tracy, found out about his death in a plane crash over the radio. So sad for those families.
