Day 31 - Free parking! Wild Card! Whatever you want to call it. Post a song that you want others to hear but haven't found a prompt that fits


Captain Sensible - Wot

You're welcome.
Hadn't heard this song in almost 40 years. It was very funny back then because I had a friend we nicknamed Captain. We'd play it at a party and the whole party would scream "say captain", pointing at him and he'd scream "Say Wot". Put a big smile on my face.

I’m an Army brat and this is how you spell. The phonetic alphabet isn’t hard to learn but I get it. Working with cars and customers reading license plates is killer though! 😂 “K for Kangaroo” and “F for Ferrari” My favorite was “G for Job” Da fug?!

Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo - Bloodhound Gang

 
I picked this one because this thread exists as a place we come to share music, and sometimes it’s worth remembering how thin the line is between the next gig and the end of the line.

FEBRUARY 3

On February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. Richardson were killed when their chartered plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Iowa during the Winter Dance Party tour. The setup is depressingly mundane: a broken-down bus, brutal winter weather, exhaustion, a couple of seat swaps, and a coin toss that aged very badly. Holly was 22. Valens was 17. Richardson was 28. Rock and roll history turned, not on destiny or drama, but on logistics.

This event later picked up the label “the day the music died,” which is a great line and a bit of marketing genius, but also not literally true. The people died. The music didn’t. It got pressed, replayed, covered, mythologized, and handed down (which is how culture actually works). People disappear. Songs stick around. That’s uncomfortable, a little dark, and also kind of the deal. It’s why a bunch of strangers can still show up in a thread decades later and keep sharing tracks.

Day 3: Post a song by an artist who died before age 30.

(And because I'm on an insane power trip - I'm going to offer a single free song pass that can only be cashed in if it's currently Feb 3 where you are)

Day 3 (bonus): Post a song that references Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, or J. P. Richardson
