Have you ever been to the Buddy Holly crash site near Mason City, Iowa?
Did you get the impression that many people go there to see it?

Do the stores in Mason City or Clear Lake sell tons of Buddy Holly
stuff?

There was a story about some kid trying to sell guitar picks he claimed he
found
near the crash site. I guess musicians were leaving the picks in fence
posts and
on the ground and the kid scooped them all.


LOL Was he claiming they fell out of the plane?

I'm a John Lennon fan who's lived in New York City. I never had the desire
to go where he died.

I know people go see Morrison's grave, but I know no one who sees
"nothing but" his grave.

In Iowa, however, there isn't a whole lot of other things to see.
