SO WHAT?
Why do baby boomers need to memorialize pop culture figures and turn them into icons? I’m sick of it. I don’t care how many years ago Elvis died on the can, or the beatles broke up, and I am STILL sick and tired of hearing any track from John Lennon’s last album. Please just move on with your life, OK? I don’t see any Gen-Xers observing the anniversary of Duran Duran’s breakup, or reunion or whatever. Sheesh.
GET OFF MY LAWN!

Buddy Holly was no Duran Duran, even if he’ll be eventually forgotten like Rudi Vallee. But 50 years of staying power unlike most of his contemporaries counts for something. Check him out, he’s better at his weakest than what’s on today’s radio and MTV, he really is.

Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
I wrote a negative letter to the editor right after Kurt died and his wife called me up and cussed me out.
