Don't believe I'd have ever classified "Chantilly Lace" as music. More
like talking blues/novelty. Certainly not music at all. Now I do believe
that "Rave On" could be classified as music. Never was too sure about
La Bamba though.
In any case, I think the term "The day the music died" has more to do
with hyperbole than with accuracy. But the point is, I guess, that
that was near to the end of the old style Rock and Roll Music, and
that what came later was something different, something else.
We be Profound?
