Given Buddy Holly is my all-time favourite singer/songwriter ever, and his undeniable influence on so many singers/bands to follow him, & given the fact Don McLean admitted finally the implied reference to BH in his song American Pie, I'm quite content to refer to it as "The day the music died". Although, you are technically correct of course. https://www.yahoo.com/music/bp/don-mclean-american-pie-20-things-might-not-212950674.html
