The Day the Music Died - A Lesson in Rock 'n Roll History

Helllllooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!

NOTE: This blog is a day late. It was supposed to be posted yesterday, on the anniversary of the actual event, but I got a late start writing this and didn't make it time. I had written too much not to finish it, so I decided to just post it a day late. Sorry about that.

Everyone likes music, plain and simple. In the modern day, there's a lot to choose from. Pop, metal, techno, hip-hop, grunge, even country. Most of them are a form of, or at least descended from, rock. Even modern country has more in common with contemporary pop than it does the cowboy western ballads of old. Unless you listen to world music or classical, pretty much any popular genre of music nowadays is a from of, or closely related to, rock.
