September 16, 2021 Planes, Drugs and Automobiles: PLANES Part Two
Join us this week on Part 2 of Series Planes, Drugs and Automobiles exploring more tragic plane crashes in music history. This episode includes THREE members of the rock n' roll Hall of fame; Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly. So, If you like rock n' roll this one’s for you!
The legendary southern Rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd are forever scarred by the loss of 3 band members including their front man Ronnie Van Zant on October 20, 1977 after their passenger plane went down in Gillsburg, Mississippi. Incredibly, some band members survive the crash. Lynyrd Skynyrd would forever be the symbol of southern rebellion starting from the naming of their band after a high school gym teacher that didn’t like long hair. Sweet Home Alabama has been a song about home for everyone, Alabama native or not.
Buddy Holly and the Crickets were like that theme song type music to eating a 5-cent burger and shake in a 1950’s Diner. Sun Record Recording artist, along with other Sun records artists such as Johnny Cash and Elvis, Buddy Holly soared his way to the top of the charts before falling short of a landing on February 3rd, 1959. His iconic style and attitude inspired young Paul McCartney and John Lennon to make their own Rock n' roll band and call it an insect name, just like the Crickets. Just like that, the Beatles were born. The Crash was dubbed “The day the music Died" in the famous song American Pie by Don McLean. The music industry also lost one of the “Fathers of Chicano Rock” and a later inductee into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, Richie Valens. Entertainer, Texas DJ and successful songwriter “The Big Bopper” Richardson whom was also aboard the plane.
Join Host Valerie and special guest Heidi, in unraveling these iconic and tragic plane crashes.
Ending music: “Silver Wings” Performed and written by Merle Haggard
