Gone, but never forgotten.
"I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died." - Don McLean-American Pie |
Well said.

Also, Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to the Big Bopper. Just before they flew Buddy said to Waylon "I hope your bus freezes up!", and Waylon said "Yeah, well I hope your plane crashes". Although it was just jokey banter between friends, it haunted him for years afterwards.
