I don't what planet Shimrod was living on back in the late 50s, but in my school in 1958, if you couldn't sing every word of every Buddy Holly hit you'd have been considered very strange! Holly was massive in the UK before his death. He toured the country and appeared on the tv show with by far the highest viewing figures:"Sunday Night at the London Paladium". This was at a time when visiting American rock stars seemed like magical creatures from a different universe! Shimrod will be telling us next that nobody in Britain was interested he Eddie Cochran until after his fateful crash!
