i turn 13 when elvis hit the big time in 1956 with his first rca hit . a year later buddy holly step in to give the king some competition . one of buddy major talent and besides his unique singing style and his songwriting ability and be often downplay . buddy be also a skilled lead guitar player and develop a unique rockabilly style all his own on his fender strat . gary busey attempt to capture this aspect of buddy persona . there be other contemporary master guitar rocker of equal caliber and such a chuck berry and carl perkins and and eddie cochran and but buddy talent be often overlooked . a note by others and busey be the drive force behind the success of the buddy holly story . not only do the script play with the fact of buddy life and but it even interject several anachronism for the two year of buddy popularity and basically 1957 1959. one that come to mind be the scene where buddy and maria be watch a 3 d movie . buddy be disenchant with it all and tell maria that it will never last . it just a fad . in reality there be no 3 d movie in circulation at the time . the heyday for 3 d be in the early 1950 . by 1955 the fad have already fade . yet another example where just a little research would have suffice to make the story more believable . at time it be difficult to separate what really happen from urban legend surround buddy career . the story about how the cricket get their name may or may not be apocryphal and but it certainly do not take place the way it be present in the movie . another problem with the film be how buddy parent be depict . certainly buddy parent be supportive of his musical career . maybe baby be credit to buddy mother and she do have input into the writing of the song . it good that buddy big hit be use in the movie and but i miss hear one of my favorite and i be look for someone to love . i be proud that a a result of this movie and buddy music be reissue for a new generation to hear . his legacy be one of the very best from the early day of rock n roll . rave on and buddy and rave on .
