"The day the music died" - the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper died.
Here is what the song is all about...

ETO: Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on the plane to JP Richardson (Big Bopper). When Buddy Holly learned that Jennings wasn't going to fly, he said, "Well, I hope your old bus freezes up." Jennings responded, "Well, I hope your plane crashes." This friendly banter of friends would haunt Jennings for years.
