Down by the Seaside?...[Led Zepp Track]....




After stopping at Clear Lake to perform, and frustrated by the conditions on the tour buses, Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in MoorheadMinnesota.

 Richardson, suffering from flu, swapped places with Jennings, taking his seat on the plane,


 while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss


Soon after takeoff, late at night and in poor, wintry weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the light aircraft, a Beechcraft Bonanza, which subsequently crashed into a cornfield, killing all four on board.

The event has since been mentioned in several songs and films. Various monuments have been erected at the crash site and in Clear Lake, where an annual memorial concert is also held at the Surf Ballroom, the venue that hosted the artists' last performances.[wikipedia]



fear of flying=Fear of flying is a fear of being on an airplane, or other flying vehicle, such as a helicopter, while in flight. It is also referred to as flying anxietyflying phobiaflight phobiaaviophobiaaerophobia, or pteromerhanophobia

 (although aerophobia also means a fear of drafts or of fresh air)


There is also a Book with this Title[excerpt below] 


Isadora Wing is a Jewish journalist from New York City's Upper West Side. Wing is on a plane flight to Vienna for the first psychoanalysts conference since analysts were driven out during the Holocaust. She is surrounded by analysts, several of them her own from over the years, and her husband, Bennett (also an analyst): "There were 117 psychoanalysts on the Pan Am flight to Vienna and I'd been treated by at least six of them" (page 5).[2] Her fear of flying, both literally and metaphorically referring to a fear of freeing herself from the shackles of traditional male companionship, she associates with recent articles about plane hijackings and terrorist attacks. She also associates fear and loathing with Germany, because she and her husband were stationed in Heidelberg and she struggled both to fit in and to wrestle with the hatred and danger she felt being a Jew in post-Holocaust Germany.

The narrator occupies her mind with many questions, plans, mental rough drafts and reminiscences as her journey unfolds, including the "zipless fuck," a major motif in the story that haunts the narrator throughout.
