วีดีโอ

From the very first opening of "Chantilly Lace" when you hear "Hellloo, Baa-by!" you know you're going to have a great time! It's like the Big Bopper was having his own party already in progress and just invited us all along to join him. RIP

RIP

Gary's clearly out of practice here

As a historian on the life of Buddy Holly, I must warn you to take what Allsup is saying with a grain of salt. I think he has told this story so many times he actually believes it. I do not!

The Buddy Holly story starring Gary Busey is one of my favorite movies of all time. That along with La bamba. Hearing Gary sing Maybe baby and noticing how it sounded the same but aged a bit.. is bitter sweet to think of buddys music sung with an aged voice.. if buddy could have aged. I feel like the whole state of music would be completely different . Of course theres no way to tell. But time and place I suppose. I always say wish there were such a thing as time machines but it is almost a guaranteed NO and let me tell ya why .. if time machines were a reality. Buddy and Ritchie and J.p would be alive. Because socmany people love them that it wouldnt be a question. So im afraid as of right now ots just a theory and proof of concept thats almost impossible to try out...

That was the most lacklustre applause ove ever heard lol do they know who he is? He just had to put.on the glasses 🕶️ lol

I'm really surprised not one inch of footage exist of the 1972 Madison Square Garden reunion concert, no one filmed it?

everybody was the first video person.

Has a photograph of the signed guitar ever been taken?

My great uncle!

Hey i white man with a black voice from the deep south Donald trump country

Buddy lives on let’s go! Thank you Gary

Hahah! Funny guy. Hes definitely telling the truth. Shit. Sometimes guys who have no earthly business feeling insecure about their contributions, their legacy, feel the least secure about them. While the rest of us look on incredulous, they say things or do things which they have no business saying or doing, usually out of fear they have not done enough or that they are not enough. Though confusing to us, its this same compulsion born of fear which compels them as artists and keeps them racing against the clock so that by the time they can finally rest, look at all of the unbelievable shit that they have done in an achievement filled, extraordinary life. I do think its lijely that Dion was/is genuinely offended or hurt by the fact that indeed for many decades he was overlooked by those trying to tell the story of the Winter Dance Party Tour, and it's likely that whatever feelings he had stirred and bugged him such that when he finally did get the chance to tell his story, he made it just a tad more remarkable to be sure he wouldnt be left out ever again. All that...or, hes just a fuckin pathological liar. Lmao. Probably whats going on here, sadly. I wilk say that the only thing I've ever heard from DiMucci which sent my bullshit detector all the way to "steam whistle" alarm was his tale about sobriety, how he got sober by praying. Buulllshiiit. Either you weren't as addicted to heroin as you thought, or you are making the whole shit up, for god knows what reason. Perhaps because he was plotting a "gospel conversion" as a way to stay relevant in the music biz and felt he needed a good origon story to do so, idk. Dion, Dion... you're a legend, stop making things up. Tsk tsk tsk.

The gary the goat busey

The worlds a better place because Gary's in it ❤🇬🇧

Its hard to think of Gary as just a shy insecure countryboy from Texas oklahoma, but he made a success of his life through his determination to bring his talents to the people, aways the underdog and never given the respect due to him. People need to look deeper at Gary to see he has such a beautiful heart and soul and is always searching for that recognition he deserves, but never seems to get, definitely misunderstood and misjudged, be assured Gary, we love you with all our hearts🥰 ❤🇬🇧

Gary always makes me laugh, such a genuine conection with people 🥰❤🇬🇧

This great man should of been given a lifetime achievement award purely on his dedication to the entertainment business through singing, acting and music, what a great Legend you are Gary ❤🇬🇧

Gary's such a charismatic and endearing man with a beautiful smile, such a lovely soul ❤🇬🇧

Gary's the genuine thing, and always keeping it real, bless him for his dedication to Buddy Holly ❤🇬🇧

Gary your a beautiful man and an absolute Legend, we'll love you forever ❤

OH BOY.......I'm glad that's over!! Garbage

❤

An honor

I idolize Gary...All he has endured

AT THE RESSURECTION

I think that both JP and Tommy being older (both about 27 and 28 at the time) assumed that they would have first dibs on the seats. If what Dion said is true, then Tommy and Waylon would have been perturbed about being treated as mere "back up players" to Buddy Holley. I don't know how old Waylon Jennings was then, but if he was younger than JP then he probably deferred to him (based on age) when JP "asked" if he could have one of the seats. Tommy dug his heals in until Buddy asked him to "check one more time to see if they had left anything behind." Buddy being only 22 was running the show and I'm sure that Tommy being older would have felt annoyed about being treated that way. I can see why he would have changed his mind about going with Buddy on the plane at that point.

He's a Texan from Baytown near Houston. I love Gary Busey, he did a great Buddy Holly and he played great and sang great.

Ok

Awesome!

He was having a recording studio built, and many singers were interested in recording for him. As well, he wanted to do more song writing. He would have become a much bigger name in the music biz.

💪💫🌟🌟💫❤️

Now only Dion is with us. Rip Freddy & Carlo.

God bless you and your family

If you vote Republican you'll be voting for Trumpocracy, not Democracy. You'll be voting for white power, hate, attacking people like McCain the war hero, keeping our great country divided, no regards to the laws of our nation and supporting Trump's Supreme Court. Those who vote for the Republican Party want to pull off the coup that came up short on Jan. 6, 2021, but are still working on it because Trump wants a civil war today. Trump believes he's the white supremacy GOD that you should always believe. The big lie will continue because Trump will be fighting to the end. That's his nature. He hates losing. Another white supremist!

I personally did not like "the Buddy Holly Story" and I hope that a far better and more honest accounting of Buddy Holly's life is made at some point.

I knew him and his family, good ppl! God bless and RIP

Gary has always been one of my heroes!🔥✨

Great inte4rview especially about faith

Let's go Brandon n oldies legend DION DIMUCCI

Did you show the wallet? Damn it I couldn’t see it

The best that's ever been my favorite of the three the Big Bopper?!

The buddy songs are amazing

Just a funny, talented and great human being.

I love how Gary keeps Buddy's music alive. Gary is a great actor and performer. God bless you Buddy and Gary.

Its too bad that the sound/volume is low

You can see the pain in Ritchie’s mom in that picture with her family. But at least she’s now with him and bob.

what an articulate well spoken man. I started as professional musician at age 15 and actually just played the Surf on Saturday October 23rd 2021. It is an amazing place and as a place for music history rivals the rock and roll hall of fame by leaps and bounds IMHO
