What if the Holly-Valens-Bopper plane didn't crash? I'm sure this has been covered before, but I haven't seen it.
Well, what happens? Would it be a big blow to the future of "funky rock" fueled by hippies and leave rock and roll number one for another decade or so? This actually might have huge repercussions for the hippie movement. I mean, really, if they had lived, bands like the Beatles, whose name was inspired by Holly's Crickets, might go for a more traditional rockabilly style. If the Beatles do that, all bets are off. I can hardly imagine "funky rock" ala Woodstock growing popular if they live. IOTL, it seemed almost like an act of God to bump off the main Rock-n-Roll singers in 1959 to make way for the "Drugs-n-Peace Generation." Perfect set-up.
