I kinda like that movie, although it played around too much with the facts Title: Re: the Buddy Holly story Post by: PaulHippensteel on August 15, 2009, 02:41:32 PM Sonny Curtis (one of the Crickets) put out an LP around 1980 or so with a song disputing "The Buddy Holly Story". I believe the song was called "The Real Buddy Holly Story" or something like that. The LP had a full length version of "Love Is All Around" (the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song), as well as a hilarious song about cloning.
One of the biggest inaccurracies of the film (probably for legal reasons) is that Norman Petty isn't even mentioned once. Instead the movie has Buddy Holly producing his own records, like a proto-Brian Wilson. The film also mentions Buddy producing other artists, which he actually did in real life (some early Waylon Jennings sessions).

Buddy produced this song for Ol' Waylon (who played in Buddy's band after the Crickets) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F238KHpgDBM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F238KHpgDBM) The narrator sounds like Kris Kristofferson, am I right? Title: Re: the Buddy Holly story Post by: wallabie on August 25, 2009, 07:47:51 AM Huh, I like the movie as well. Itīs grand and the music seems .... itīs just played well, in my opinion. But a few facts are really confusing, if you are familiar with Buddyīs Biographie... and some stuff is mixed up. Itīs not too easy to bring a whole life in a movie...

Some stuff is just plainly wrong Title: Re: the Buddy Holly story Post by: Rocker on October 11, 2009, 09:24:30 AM You guys watch this. It's McCartney's "Real Buddy Holly story".

I mean, it really is him playing and singing. It could have been a lot worse.
