I'm so not buying it. And I'll freely admit that my prejudice is probably playing a part since I'm just so convinced Ringo will not play Bonnaroo. But regardless of that...
I'm just not seeing a simple path from "Buddy when jolly" to Ringo. Hell, I'm not really seeing a path from point A to point B at all, even a non-simple one.
right. its not there. those are all songs just buddy holly, sung by Gary Busey.
there are NO crickets songs on the soundtrack.
the missing HIT was THATLL BE THE DAY
The re-recorded version of "That'll Be the Day" was released by Brunswick Records on May 27, 1957, and is featured on the debut album by The Crickets, The "Chirping" Crickets, which was issued on November 27, 1957.
In 1958, the song was the first track ever recorded by The Quarrymen, who later became The Beatles; their rendition was issued officially on Anthology 1 in 1995.

Just to clarify: 1. I'm actually with you on this theory for now. 2. You're responding to something I said to someone else... That comment was in response to this:
There are many Crickets songs on the soundtrack, including That'll be the Day. See tracks 4 and 11. Also, Maybe Baby and It's So Easy are on the soundtrack.
Just to be extra-clear, That'll Be the Day is ON the Buddy Holly Soundtrack. So the Ringo rationale is not too strong.

THATLL BE THE DAY = RINGO STARR movie.
I am pretty sure crickets don't chirp because they are jolly.
Only male crickets chirp, for one of two reasons. One, to attract females for mating (tell me THAT ain't jolly) Two, to warn other male crickets to get away from their territory.
Just to put this out there as reference, the Buddy Holly Story tracklist: 1. Rave On 2. It's So Easy 3. True Love Ways 4. Clear Lake Medley: That'll Be the Day/Oh Boy! /Peggy Sue/Maybe Baby 5. I'm Gonna Love You Too 6. Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On 7. Well...All Right 8. Listen to Me 9. Maybe Baby 10. Everyday 11. Roller Rink Medley: Rock Around With Ollie Vee/That'll Be the Day

I think it's the other way around - he's saying to stick close to Busey as a way of steering us towards Buddy Holly.
The recent tweet seems to suggest that we're looking at actual Buddy Holly, and not Busey as Buddy.
Where to go from here?
maybe back to where it all matters most, le chanson.
LE CHANSON ....TRANSLATED IS "the song"
On February 25th, 1957, Holly and a revised band lineup, now dubbed the Crickets, recorded “That’ll Be the Day” at the Clovis, New Mexico, studio of producer Norman Petty. The effortless, upbeat rocker won them a contract with the Coral and Brunswick labels. Later that year it became a Number One pop hit and even rose to Number Two on the R&B charts.
She & Him? The Weezer song is about a guy and a girl....? This is crazy!
The weezer song is about a guy taking flak from his other guy friends for not pursuing his female friend... song doesn't necessarily say they're together.

Just throwing it out there...what about Peggy Sue...there's a band called Peggy Sue... Edit ~ here's what I found on that...and they have an album out in April. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Sue_(band)
That's exactly why I think "Rip It Up" has some significance here.
DJJD... 1. steered us to Buddy/Busey 2. made refererence to an earlier poster "walk(ing) up the" answer 3. said the Busey movie soundtrack is not the answer
I still think we're better off looking at a song BY Buddy Holly, not a song ABOUT Buddy Holly.
All I can gather from that song is that there's a missing shoe, and that someone earlier said they'd eat their shoe if the answer wasn't weezer. I took this as confirmation that weezer is not the artist we're looking for.

I'm not getting how someone posting that they would eat their shoe if it wasn't Weezer means it isn't about the song Buddy Holly. Did I miss something?
Elvis Costello fits the line " I look just like Buddy Holly' (thanks Sass) and there's a bootleg cd of his out called Buddy Holly on Acid.
As far as the crickets /jolly thing, I don't think it matters anyway. I don't think we need to worry about the jolly part - I think that was there in the original clue to tell us it was Buddy Holly as opposed to any other Buddy - Buddy Holly/Holly Jolly.

Cuomo explained how he was inspired to write the song after a friend from his choir lent him a Korg keyboard. The lyrical inspiration derived from an incident in which the other members of Weezer were making fun of Cuomo's friend, Kyung He. Cuomo talks about how he originally didn't want to include the song on the album, but was convinced by producer Ric Ocasek. Cuomo also talks about the writing process of the song, stating that originally, the chorus lyrics were "You look just like Ginger Rogers/Oh-oh/I move just like Fred Astaire."
And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts

I thought Rip It Up had been mentioned before DJJD quoted me? Oh yeah, you're right about that. I don't think That'll Be the Day was mentioned though, so I don't see how we can "go BACK" to it. I guess that's the main thing that concerns me about the Ringo guess. But maybe I'm nitpicking on that.
edited: that was in response to kdogg "I thought Rip It Up had been mentioned before DJJD quoted me?"
I'm not getting how someone posting that they would eat their shoe if it wasn't Weezer means it isn't about the song Buddy Holly. Did I miss something?
"Oh no, what do we do? Don't look now, but I lost my shoe."
Someone posted the preceding line, and I followed it up with that... AFTER hal(something) tempted DJJD with the offer to eat his shoe if his weezer answer was incorrect...
Heading out for a bit with a blue album in hand and some corn in the other... hopefully I'll find some inspiration before I'm back.
