Based on the episodes that you’ve heard in this series, then you’re likely aware there are many stories of curses, superstitions, and creepy coincidences that have been interwoven into the fabric of the “Devil’s Music.” Some are silly and a bit of a stretch, some are eerie, and some – like the most famous music curse of the “27 Club” – are downright unnerving.
In this episode, we’ll dig into the infamous “Buddy Holly Curse,” which began on a fateful night in February 1959 – the “Day the Music Died.” Legend has it that this curse dogged an entire generation of rock stars connected to Buddy Holly. Is it truth or fiction?
Curses and superstitions are not taken lightly in the music world. But I’ll leave it up to you to decide if the frightening things that occurred were the supernatural at work, mere coincidence, or the result of that famous rock-n-roll adage of “living fast and leaving a good-looking corpse behind.”
