what if its not the Song "Buddy Holly" but a song about him like American Pie? I keep thinking about Don Mclean. However that would focus more on Holly then Busey

Oh man, "American Pie" is a good thought but it references sooo many musicians I don't know where to go from there. But it's about the closest thing I have to a favorite song and I'm a little obsessed with all the references in it, so I can tell you guys aaalllll about it if you want!
These are lyrics from Buddy Holly's "Now we're one". I just looked through a bunch of songs trying to find where he's happy. (I think that's the same thing the previous poster did when finding lyrics)
"Well, I wanna jump to the moon and yell out loud I feel like I'm walking on an eighteenth cloud"

didn't dj jd post something about how spmirish03 was on the right track for the answer? i remember seeing it earlier today on here. just gotta keep looking around for who spmirish03 was guessing.
I accidentally posted this in #3 but i meant to put it here... Holly's life story inspired a Hollywood biographical film, The Buddy Holly Story. The movie was widely criticized by the rock community and Holly's friends and family for its inaccuracies. This led Paul McCartney to produce and host his own tribute to Holly in 1985, titled The Real Buddy Holly Story.
Sorry if said already but could tie him in
I also found this... In the Red Hot Chili Peppers' music video for Dani California, in which the band take on several sub genres of Rock, Buddy is one of the first to be represented.
OKAY...the soundtrack doesnt include ANY crickets songs.
maybe thats the song we're supposed to be looking for .
Or a cricket in general. Someone had posted about the fact that crickets chirp, and what else would chirp? It was abandoned pretty quickly. Maybe we need to go back to that?

I'm still thinking of the post where djjd told us to go back to the song - specifically, he said we should go back "to where it all matters most" - anybody have any idea what that could mean? Whatever "it all" is, it matters most in the song...if we could make some sense of that maybe it would help us figure out what song we're looking for/at?

so ashley capps is one of my facebook friends, and i just noticed that he added buddy miller to his friends list. could this be the answer to the buddy clue? maybe not, but would be a good addition for roo.
on a non-busey tack, i'm looking into fair weather friend. two songs, one by wheatus and one by queen latifah.
This came up earlier...
Fair weather friend. Fair weather has dead winds. The Dead Weather.
Could this be the near-miss?[/quote]
if it was said, how could it be a near miss? unless dead weather is a miss and it's the white stripes. heh. im going to poke through the dead weather wiki and see if i can find anything. hmm. maybe its something through the dead weather like a former band or ... uhh... i dont know.

On that link to Amazon, I saw something called The Last Waltz related to Buddy Holly. The Last Waltz was also a live album by The Band with guests including Bob Dylan.

Maybe the dead weather is a miss cause one of the words is a miss so take one word of off that and you have The Dead...it kinda makes sense
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.
