10 years ago, it was the day the music died

[Synthaholic]

One of the most tremendous crooners of my generation died this date in 2010.

February 3rd 1959 was the day the music died.
Google it.

The Day the Music Died - Wikipedia

so?.....rock n roll did not die did it?....

Its a universally accepted expression.

oh is that what it is?.....is that like calling Elvis the "king" of Rock n Roll?...

...which is even more egregious than calling Michael Jackson the King of Pop.

No the music has not died, but given some of the newer songs I am listening to these days it is definitely in its death throes.

No, but you should have a clue who Ronnie James Dio is. I don’t listen to any hairdo bands but I sure as fuck know who Jon Bon Jovi is.

Well aren't you special. ...

Well, I’m not old as fuck, or a Russian typing on a American forum, so...

This is when the music died:

I'm out at last
Boy, the world sure looks different
Wow, there's hardly anything fun to do
Since they made music illegal
But I'm hooked
I got the habit
I've got to have it
I need to play
But there's no musicians anymore
They're all gone
Wait! I've got it!
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll walk through the parking lot
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
To go with the loading zone announcements

Not on Digital DreamDoor, whoever the hell that is.

A lot of the names are correct, but the order is fucked. Otis Redding is the 23rd best singer, even in this limited group?
