The Beatles established Buddy Holly in the rock pantheon for good and all after he (for all his genius) was well on his way to a place beside Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon in the Who-He Hall of Fame. In 7th grade, when the Beatles first hit, I already knew who Chuck Berry was, and Fats Domino, and Little Richard, and Elvis, and Jerry Lee. But I had no idea Buddy Holly ever existed. <br /><br />The Stones did a lot for Chuck Berry, and Dylan did a lot for Woody Guthrie, but they didn't rescue them as completely as the Beatles did Buddy Holly.<br /><br />And I don't want to hear a word about Don McLean.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965815258050677130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-62285571201686178832009-04-16T16:43:00.000-04:002009-04-16T16:43:00.000-04:00Best post-Beatles Brit cover of American artist hi...Best post-Beatles Brit cover of American artist hit?Elroynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-10306894610996980232009-04-16T15:52:00.000-04:002009-04-16T15:52:00.000-04:00They were adorable.
