I kinda like that movie, although it played around too much with the facts

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

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
The narrator sounds like Kris Kristofferson, am I right?

Huh, I like the movie as well. It´s grand and the music seems .... it´s just played well, in my opinion. But a few facts are really confusing, if you are familiar with Buddy´s Biographie... and some stuff is mixed up. It´s not too easy to bring a whole life in a movie...

That's a nice expression. Some stuff is just plainly wrong

I think Busey does a pretty good job with the songs. I mean, it really is him playing and singing. It could have been a lot worse.
