“I’m a drug addict and an alcoholic, and I’ve been fighting those demons every day. I have this self-destruct button and I don’t know where it comes from. I’ve talked to many, many therapists.

“I had a girl, and Donna was her name Since she left me, I’ve never been the same Cause I love my girl, Donna, oh where can you be?” - Oh Donna by Ritchie Valens I imagine Donna Ludwig thought of those lyrics almost every day for the 50 years since Ritchie Valens died.

On February 2, 1959 a small plane crashed in a corn field in Iowa killing Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson “The Big Bopper.” This event is etched into the canvas of rock-and-roll folk lore. This week, fifty years later, there is a week-long festival going on the the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake.

If I was asked about Bobby Vee a scant month ago I would have answered that he was one of the 1950′-’60′s teen idols, one of the “Bobbies”: Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Rydell, Bobby Curtola, Bobby Darin etc. I really couldn’t have rhymed off a song he did but I knew he was a [...]]]> http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1103/bobby-vee-the-gentleman-of-rock-and-roll/feed/ 0 http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1090/bill-haleys-fabulous-comets/ http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1090/bill-haleys-fabulous-comets/#comments Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:30:36 +0000 Kim Kinrade http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/?p=1090 http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1090/bill-haleys-fabulous-comets/feed/ 0 http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1072/the-jan-and-dean-show/ http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1072/the-jan-and-dean-show/#comments Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:02:38 +0000 Kim Kinrade http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/?p=1072 Warning: arsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/sykesa/kimkinrade.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php(241) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code on line 762
