1959: “The Day the Music Died” - Rock-and-roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson die in a small plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.
I haven't been able to grasp what so many people see in Disturbed. They only do covers of past popular songs pretty well but to my ear anyway there is a dark satanistic quality in the way they sing the songs. For my listening pleasure I'll stick with the Simon & Garfunkel ...

Disturbed released that version of Sound of Silence a few years ago. I heard it then and soon forgot about it. It popped up on my FB feed with the video tying it to today's world and the Corona Virus. It seemed timely and worth posting but in the end I much prefer the Simon and Garfunkel version. For whats it's worth I've never heard anything else by Disturbed.
"This is so disturbing. To learn, after all these years, that Guns n Roses stole songs from a Polka band. Talk about destroying a young man's innocent illusions."
"I came for the cleavage, and stayed for the music."
"A Bavarian Helen Mirren."
Well that was refreshingly entertaining!
