Waylon Jennings and Buddy Holly
January 1959 - Just Before the Music Died
Waylon Jennings and Buddy Holly were friends from Lubbock, Texas. Not an original Cricket, and only 19-years-old, Waylon was asked to play guitar and bass and go on tour with Buddy after the Crickets disbanded. Famously, Waylon gave up his seat to the Big Bopper, who was killed with Buddy Holly, and Ritchie Valens in the plane crash; February 3, 1959.
In interviews Waylon said he spent a long time suffering from survivors guilt. The last thing they said to each other was:
Buddy to Waylon: I hope your ass freezes on the bus.
Waylon to Buddy: I hope your 'ol plane crashes. (Video Proof Below)
