Should have let us guess. I would have passed with flying colros!!! :(

the song American Pie was not only a tribut to Buddy Holy but to two other singers (Richie Valens and The Big Bopper ) "The Day The Music Died". also the name of the song is the same as the name of the plane that they were in that crashed and killed them.

P.*. you dont have to be old to know all this you just have to know a little bit about ancient history

Being "an old guy" I figured that I'd do well. I even got the "bonus answer" of the others who also died in that crash. What do I win?

BTW from http://www.fiftiesweb.com/crash.htm

AND...... they were killed shortly after taking off from a concert in the great state of Iowa. They had just played a show in Clear Lake, and the weather was icy.

OH NO!!! I'm an old guy..... I remembered all of those except one. I don't want to be a guy. I'd have to learn how to pee standing up and scratch myself.

I think I have evidence that would refute that claim......

I guess this makes me an old guy too. That means I get to be all crotchetty and stuff and I get to say "back in my day..." and "kids these days just don't know what work is..." and "they don't make things like they used to..." Right?
:P

Whew.....I knew four answers......so I guess I am not an old girl....despite with PDad says :P

LMAO...

I didn't know all of them, yet O'Niel and I are the same age....hmmmmm?
