Today in history

1959 - A plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, claimed the lives of rock 'n' roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. ''The Big Bopper'' Richardson. If it wasn't for this single event, Lou Diamond Phillips would have had no career at all. By the way, Phillips' first wife left him for Melissa Etheridge. That's gotta suck!
