I was bored at work and looking at shit on Wikipedia. I wanted to know the locations of Buddy Holly’s last tour before he chartered the plane that would kill him, Valens, and Big Bopper.
The night of his death, he played in Clear Lake, Iowa. A town of about 8,000 people. The next location was scheduled to be in Moorhead, Minnesota. A town of about 40,000 people.
Was this the norm for early rock n’ roll? He was already a chart topping artist before his death and widely known among the nation’s youth. Were big major urban centers unfriendly to rock n’ roll acts in the early going?
