#thebigbopper

Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly. The three singers that my vintage aesthetic started with. I grew up listening to them with my dad. Listening to their music now makes me happy and nostalgic because I grew up listening to them.

After following a long series of roads that can hardly be called paved, we found the intersection of Gull Avenue and 315th Street where an enormous pair of glasses sits atop concrete posts, memorializing the three musicians; Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P, "The Big Bopper" Richardson; who died after their plane crash landed in the field beyond on February 3rd, 1959. If you’re brave enough to trek through the mud and snow for a half mile, you will find the actual crash site, now decorated with gifts and memorabilia left behind by fans from around the world who continue to visit the site to this day. #buddyholly #richievalens #jorichardson #thebigbopper #thedaythemusicdied #history #musichistory #rockandroll #buddyhollymemorial #buddyhollycrashsite #clearwateriowa #clearwateria #iowa #ia (at Buddy Holly Crash Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOFNLUFPqK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6xlnytfit4mi
