	The Day the Music Died - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Day the Music Died (February 3, 1959), was the day of the plane crash that killed three popular American rock and roll musicians.
		The phrase "The Day The Music Died" was coined by Don McLean's 1971 song about the crash, "American Pie".
		All four had died instantly from "gross trauma" to the brain, the County coroner declared.

	American Pie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As an observer and participant in the 1960s American music scene, McLean traced the rise from obscurity and domination of American music by The Beatles (1959–1969), starting in the third verse; and highlighted the tribulations of The Byrds (1966–1967), and the widespread use of illicit drugs by young Americans in the fourth verse.
		By the last verse, McLean is saddened by the death of Janis Joplin (1970), and is dejected by the dissolution of music as an uplifting, spiritual, and moral force in the face of overwhelming violence in America and abroad.
		The day the music died is the name McLean gave to February 3, 1959, the day an airplane carrying musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper crashed, killing all three.

		Classical music, what most people still associate with public radio, hasn't much of a business side anymore, and little of what it does have is on the West Coast.
		Music itself, as opposed to talk about music, or just plain talk, is heard only after 7 p.m.
		Public radio stations across the country are dumping their traditional formats--mainly classical music and jazz--or crowding them to the edges of their schedules because their marketers are telling them that there are many more listeners to a news-talk format.

		It was a bright, sunny late January day in St. Louis with a hint of warmth as I recall.
		For the rest of the day – a day in retrospect much like 9/11 – I was glued to the TV as history unfolded before my eyes.
		Thinking back that day to April of 1981 when I snuck out of work and went to the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill to sit in the bar and watch the launch of the very first shuttle, I tried to recapture the feeling of watching the machine as it rose majestically into the air.

		Classical music, which is what most people still associate with public radio, hasn’t got much of a business side any more, and little of what it does have is on the West coast.
		Though there is a new one-hour cultural magazine show during the day, it is part of the news-talk format picked up from commercial radio that is proving more and more attractive to public stations.

		WABC stopped playing music on May 10, 1982 a date known as "the day the music died".

		Later that day, I went to ABC because I had a meeting with Rick Sklar and his staff concerning Superadio (which was still very much alive at that point).

		Contemporary Christian worship music just isn’t “contemporary.” The current state of the “current” is a far cry from the days when our hearts were pierced by the sounds of the “Best of Heaven” and when the “stream” was the river of God.
		In those days every time we experienced a new worship CD and new corporate worship, the lyrics, the sound, the flow touched us right where our hearts were.
