Holly was actually a talented musician who was NEVER hated.

In the name of accuracy, Holly was disliked by some in the older white generation for playing what they considered to be "negro music."

Have you told Larry?


"Larry Holley doesn't know of anyone who hated his late sibling."

To some people it wasn't even "negro music" so much as it was "racket" and "that fad".

Sinatra hated it because it ushered in a new hit parade of standards he couldn't sing. He hated the Beatles too (but he eventually cut a couple Beatles covers, but then Yesterday is hardly "rock and roll").

Was Buddy ever hated" for drinking, drugging, gyrating, seducing young girls, speaking out against the Korean War, speaking out for labor strikes, etc?
