        Music world lost Bobby Vee to Alzheimers a little over a year ago. His career STARTED the day after “the music died”. He was a lovely man, as is his family. We in St Joe, Minnesota miss him.

        "A long long time ago .. But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died." Thanks Mr. Beschloss

        Didn't we all. Or, It could have been the weird Al Yankovic version: "My my this here Anakin guy May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi""

        Even if you're not a fan of @thexfiles, check out the classic episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," which uses the crash as a plot point. Consistently ranked as a top 5 episode.
