Mr Blue, The Fleetwoods.
Sounds like a totally frivolous lawsuit.
Sounds like a 50 year old cat fight.
Thank you for the post.
In American law, you cannot defame the dead. Period. Not only is the lawsuit totally frivolous, but Peggy Sue can turn around and sue Mrs. Holly for all her expenses — and win....
I thought it was True Love Waits, is it Ways?
Just you know why
why you and I
will by and by
know true love ways
Sometimes we'll sigh
sometimes we'll cry
and we'll know why
just you and I
know true love ways
Throughout the days
our true love ways
will bring us joys to share
with those who really care
Sometimes we'll sigh
sometimes we'll cry
and we'll know why
just you and I
know true love ways

I agree. Anyone is allowed to write a book. Mrs. Holly might have something to fear or she is cranky.
If the book was going to print wild allegations smearing Holly, I could maybe understand Mrs. Holly being upset. But nothing in this article indicates that this is the case. Sounds to me like some pretty mundane diary notes by a chick who knew Holly for a brief period and had her 15 minutes of fame when a hit song was named after her.
I don’t recall all the details but a year or two ago some members of the Holly family (his brother, if I recall) got angry at the Dixie Chicks. They recorded a hateful song accusing Natalie Maines’ hometown of Lubbock of being bigoted. It included a reference to Holly, implying that the town hated him while he was alive but tried to make him an icon after he died. Lubbock, of course, was Holly’s hometown. Holly’s family and friends were furious, noting that it was totally untrue that Holly was ever disliked by the people of Lubbock.
Maines, of course, was whining because conservative Lubbock disowned her after she proved herself to be a left-wing nitwit.

Here’s an article on Natalie Maines’ big lie about Buddy Holly:

POS Maines!
I must say, I can’t imagine the song be as successful as “Cindy Lou”. The alliteration of “pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Sue” sells the song much better than “Cindy Lou”. Of course, maybe it could have been “sexy sexy sexy sexy Cindy Lou”. But, then, the song might have been banned if he’d done that. LOL
Interesting too that the song was really about Buddy’s niece. That’s a little creepy, given some of the lyrics. Of course, there was a song in the 70s by Henry Gross called “Shannon” which many people don’t know was about a dog, not a woman. The lyrics make more sense once you know that tidbit.
Another day is at end Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
Is papa were here?
I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon is gone
I hope she's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Mama tried hard to pretend
things would get better again It all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

I learn something new every day, sometimes I’m a few years late learning it!
Me too. I learned today that Shannon is a dog. See post #37.
