i first saw the buddy holly story when i be about seven year old . i have no idea who buddy holly be and nor can i remember what it be that make me sit down in front of the television and tune in to hbo and and watch this engage biopic . what i remember be realize that it be a ( somewhat ) true story and about someone who actually live . i recall the music and great song that i still love today ( i can not believe gary busey sing his own song and so well what a stud . ) then and come the end . he die . he freak die . i couldn not believe it . i have no warning and no prior knowledge like most come into this film . it teach me a harsh lesson about life and how it doesn not follow the rule that most movie teach u . i just watch the film again tonight and be engage all over again . and a little saddened . positive and but i will admit to a little bias .
