Summary

Who’s to blame for The Day the Music Died?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with prolific musical comedian Caitlin Cook about the tragic plane crash which took the lives of music icons Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. An event later coined “The Day the Music Died,” could the music industry have something to do with it? Perhaps tour manager Pat Mason’s poor planning was to blame? Or was this just a tragic act of nature? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
