I texted my mom. She sent back a voice memo. She was crying softly. "Your grandfather used to sing this to me," she said. "He said it was about the day the music died. But I don't think he meant Buddy Holly."
"A long, long time ago... I can still remember how that music used to make me smile..."
Then, at exactly 2:27 AM, the song stopped. Silence. Pure, absolute silence. No wind. No cars. No fridge hum.
so the song's about forgetting. about losing something pure. but maybe... maybe it's also a warning. and it just played for the whole country at once.
ok this is creepy now
that was feb 3rd?
