the answer to 13 is wrong, it's not just Buddy, but Richie Valens and the Big Bopper too.

I should've known 20.

I thought the song was a tribute to Holly in particular...
Valens was on his way up and Big Bopper had a name as a DJ. It's kinda wrong to tribue one of them without the others (not to mention the pilot)

Trivia: What big name performer was suppsed to be on the plane but gave up his seat for the Big Bopper because Bopper wasn't feeling well and they figured it was best to get him to the next stop earlier than the bus would make the trip.

As an aside, I'm within spitting distance of fifty, so being smarter than a fifty year old is no big whoop.

Lucky Strike was an unfiltered cigarette in the late 1950's 60's and 70's.

Uh, when I was an intern for a conveyor company, I met a graveyard-shift maintenance man at a batter mixing factory that STILL smoked unfiltered Lucky Strikes. This was in 2000 or 2001.
