1. I got them all, although I was born in '69

maybe it's because I've got a trivial mind?

[nini]

10. I wouldn't want to play 'trivial' pursuit with you

:D good job.. :thumbsup:

[youthere]

23. Me too, and me too!

[JimmyJazz]

2. I got them all.

Is anyone up for a rousing game of BINGO at the local church?

I couldn't remember his name at all though I could visualize the character.

3. I got 13 of them and I was born in 1978!

[nini]

7. You're a year younger than my son!

[CBGLuthier]

4. Got them all, but 13 is slightly wrong

American Pie was not the name of the airplane.

Also, splitting hairs, but I think of the day the music died as being the death of all three men, Ritchie Valens, J.P Richardson ( The Big Bopper), and Buddy Holly. But MR. Mclean may disagree with me. :-)

[nini]

5. That's the one that made me put a disclaimer on the answers

I just wasn't sure about that - thanks

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

was written about the first time Roberta Flack heard Don McClean sing it

[Shell Beau]

14. Really? That is interesting! Wow!

18. I never like that song... amazing because I love Roberta Flack

I just could never get into it.


I didn't know the history of it either. I'm going to have to check out the words again.

[CBGLuthier]

16. Now that I think about it

He did refer to "his widowed bride" so maybe it was just Holly.

[Shell Beau]

12. I never heard the plane being called that.

But I think it is all three of the musicians. At least I choose to think so too!

[khashka]

27. Kudos!

Everyone knows Buddy Holly died in that crash.... but who remembers that Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper died too?

Respect is due.
