Celebrate ‘The Day the Music Died’ With New Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens Bobbleheads
On the anniversary of 'The Day the Music Died,' news came out that Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper are getting their own bobbleheads.
Sixty-six years ago today, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper died when their plane crashed following a show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. The tragedy was also documented in countless books and articles, including this stellar Rolling Stone piece by Jonathan Cott in 2009, and dramatized in the 1978’s The Buddy Holly Story and 1987’s La Bamba. “Both bobbleheads feature the musicians standing on bases bearing their names and holding guitars in poses that replicate iconic photos,” reads a press release.
