<div dir="ltr">Correction Mr. Hansen...<br><br>I was referring to verse 5
of the lyrics you posted below. This was the day that the music died on
December 6, 1969 marking the end of the failed experiment of the 1960s
due to too many dope smoking pot heads that comprised the 'generation
lost in space'. I'd encourage you to 'maybe dig a little deeper instead
of constantly shooting from the hip', but there would be an echo in
here
(http://mailman.fsr.com/pipermail/vision2020/2012-December/087985.html)
and I'd be sounding like a broken record. And note that a broken record
in itself could very well be considered 'the day the music died' to someone
somewhere sometime.<br><br>I will now refocus the discussion on the day
that the music died 45 years ago today and my tribute to Meridith Hunter
who I can now see why has been completely and totally forgotten by anyone in the
1960's who spent copious amounts of time breathing in the sweet perfume
at halftime. Oh...and you might consider watching the video I posted. I find it to be rather heartbreaking.<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Meredith_Hunter<br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">Subject: Re: [Vision2020] A tribute to...<br>From: thansen@moscow.com<br>Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2014 12:10:04 -0800<br>CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br>To: scooterd408@hotmail.com<br><br><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div><span></span></div><div><div>Correction, Mr. Dredge . . .</div><div><br></div><div><b><i>February 3, 1959</i></b> was the "day the music died".</div><div><br></div><div>-------------------------------------</div><div><br><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b style="padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-image:none;box-sizing:border-box;">"The Day the Music Died</b>, dubbed so by a lyric in the <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_McLean" title="Don McLean" style="padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-image:none;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">Don McLean</a>song "<a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Pie_%28song%29" title="American Pie (song)" style="padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-image:none;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">American Pie</a>", is a reference to the deaths of rock and roll musicians <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Holly" title="Buddy Holly" style="padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-image:none;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">Buddy Holly</a>, <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritchie_Valens" title="Ritchie Valens" style="padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-image:none;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">Ritchie Valens</a>, and <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bopper" title="The Big Bopper" style="padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background-image:none;box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">J.
