From the time he was a high-school student in Lubbock, Texas until his tragic death at age 22 in 1959, Buddy Holly ignored the condemnation by townspeople and his conservative relatives and dedicated his life to the new music he became famous for performing: rock 'n roll.
Just watched this movie again. Still can't believe he was only 22 when he died, he made such an important contribution to music. Not many of his caliber around these days...
I thought Gary Busey was pretty good as Buddy Holly,it's just sad how him the big bopper and Richie Valens died in the plane crash.R I P Buddy,bopper,and Richie
