Keith Richards nails the high point of this docu right here with -"Lucky Devil"! This about a guy who dies frozen in a plane crash at 22!?!? Talk a bout "Sympathy for the Devil" - & he doesn't even mention that song! But we all THINK it!
When Keith Richards was describing Buddy Holly as being a "self-contained unit" I had to think of Chuck Berry—also writing his own songs and knowing how things should sound.
Elvis sucks ass. I dnt like simply bc of what I have always know and what ketih richards said, the man hardly wrote a song in his career. Reminds me of the shitty pop artist we 2day that cnt write there own shit. Thank God or whatever diety u worship for Buddy Holly!
Wow, Keith Richards coming in and adding comments that will make me appreciate rock more each time I hear it. Also very interesting to hear about the fender strat. Time and time again the hardest thing for a group is to stay together and enjoy the same music and life style.
"Talking Heads?" To hear first hand from these guys, how they studied so many details about Buddy and appreciated his song writing, this IS history. How different from the rest of us who simply like his music (even love it); they looked at Buddy as fellow musicians and developed their craft with Buddy as the example. GREAT STUFF!
As for norman petty he is the main reason Buddy was taken from us!buddy holly and the crickets were cheated out of mega money by norman petty.Buddy Holly would not have went on that fateful winter tour if his manager norman petty would have paid him and the crickets that royalty and playing money that they were to be paid.norman petty at the end cheated buddy out of alot of money
Those "talking heads" are legends in their own right who attribute Buddy's influence on their own success to the work of Buddy Holly.
Nothing wrong with that. Educational material for anyone aspiring to do better is a good thing, provided the lessons learned are passed on. Buddy was the "guitar hero" for many "guitar heroes".
The way I see it, if I came to know it all, life would be a lot less interesting. The excitement in learning ceases and my mind closes up.
Doesn't sound like a happy life, if you asked me.
What these "talking heads" are doing is informing what it was like back then.
It's not a drama film, but an informative documentary that appeals to the intellectual mind. In contrast, the anti-intellectual demonstrates his or her bovinity.
Wow...the people of the time giving personal anecdotes regarding Buddy....'talking heads" like Keith Richards and Paul McCartney....this is the good stuff. YOu are either a troll or someone who has such a mental deficiency that he does not see the irony in cally people who have accomplished so much more than he will ever...."talking heads".,....do hunaity a favor....go jump on your head. You couldn't possibly get any dumber that your posts exposing your stupidity! Hurry up and die.please!
Sorry,...I had a few drinks before I posted. My spelling gets bad really quick. Seriously though..these people were influenced by Buddy. Sincerely. Who cares if they met him? Next time you are watching a show regarding the Macedonians on the History Channel...be sure to say....."what a bunch of bullshit!" "You never met Alexander!" "How could you POSSIBLY know what you are talking about?" Get it? If not...oh well....you just aren't worth it. Shut up and enjoy the film like the rest of us troll.

At 5:00 the Buddy Holly footage runs out and the boring talking heads to rostrum camera shots start. Brilliant up to then.

Yes, but aren't they boring.
cosmicarbiteroftaste 2 years ago
@cosmicarbiteroftaste
Not at all. Not to me anyway.
I certainly don't know everything but I do enjoy learning what I can from others.
IF we choose label a person or a thing as boring, we are saying that we are not interested in that thing or that person.
Which is better? To be complemented or or to be insulted?
A student that feels his school lessons are boring is not likely to do well in school.
One day, that student is going to wish he paid attention and studied harder.
