The Transatlantic Cul De Sac by Paul Snyder & Ned Crowther
Episode notes
Paul and Ned ponder a great "what if" on the 67th anniversary of the Day the Music Died. Buddy Holly was only 22 and undergoing one of the fastest evolutions in the history of popular music. Had that plane reached Fargo and the Winter Dance Party tour finished to give Buddy the financial footing to launch any of his myriad ideas, would the Beatles still hold their place in music history – or would they even be relevant? It's hard to understate the reverberations still echoing from Buddy's short time on this planet – and it's hard to not celebrate the man's oeuvre at any given opportunity.
