Ya, they've been talkin about Buddy Holly most of the day today on Lubbock radio. It's their only claim to fame besides dust and wind hahaha

 

Two great musicians.Just out of curiosity what is the car next to the Mercedes in the picture?

 

Von Dutch was born on sep 7th too...

 

Both died too soon. Man, Moon played those drums like no one else.

 

Rock 'n' Roll's been going down hill ever since Buddy Holly died.

 

Oh,yeah!!,title should of started 'Von Dutch & Buddy Holly were born...'

 

I believe it is a BMW next to the Mercedes...not sure which model.

 

Looks like a Toyota 2000, very rare

 

The car on the left looks like a Jensen.

 

Learned my new thing for today.....

Me, Buddy Holly and my nephew all share the same birthday.

heh happy birthday dude you are in good company. i dig holly and the crickets, moon has good taste too in a T. wonder if the ole deuce was just as popular in his day i know during the 70s the T was hit its peak probably in popularity.
also it got to see some of the most cartoonish fab T;s ever.

I didnt know Moon could even drive worth a shit....even ran over and killed one of his friends by accident in his Rolls....but man could he play drums!!

 

Not a joke by the way and no disrespect to those that have passed, so no stupid comments. Actually a serious question...

This came up in conversation tonight

What have Mama Cass (Mamas and Papas) and Keith Moon got in common with their last moments on this earth?

haha got you thinkng now but remember serious replies only........

 

I believe that is an Ace, something they made after the cobra. It has a 428 stuffed in it.

 

Ham(b) sandwiches?

 

I knew that would be in here somewhere , cuz , I woulda done it had it not been in here....

 

Correct, but it's actually called an AC Frua 428. Basically a 428 Cobra in an Italian body. Built from '68 to '71 roughly. One like it was on fleabay recently.

 

Died in the same apartment. Fittingly Keith Moon had just come back from seeing the movie "The Buddy Holly Story" when he OD'd

What I win???

 

didn't they die at the same age also?

 

Yep 32. The apartment was owned by Harry Nilsson BTW

 

Wasn't Stevie Ray Vaughn from Lubbock too?

 

Man, there is some strange irony in all this. Interesting stuff..........E

 

booyah!!!

 

interesting about him and the apartment.. lots of good people got lost in the party during this time period.
