If you could travel back to the 1950s with Doc Brown and Marty from Back to the Future, you'd find a simpler, more innocent time.

Produktbeschreibung
If you could travel back to the 1950s with Doc Brown and Marty from Back to the Future, you'd find a simpler, more innocent time. At gas stations, attendants greeted you by name, pumped your gas, checked your oil, and cleaned your windshield-a full-service experience often taken for granted. Teens were happy and energetic, and artists sang with enthusiasm, delivering carefree lyrics like "Why do birds sing so gay?" without concern for misunderstanding. February 3, 1959, marked a tragic day in rock and roll history with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper in a plane crash after performing at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA. These artists significantly shaped the genre: a DJ-turned-musician known for his comedic style, a hit from "La Bamba," and the iconic headliner recognized by his signature glasses. This book explores the 1959 Winter Dance Party, the Surf Ballroom, and the impact of that fateful flight. It shares stories from witnesses and reflects on the profound loss felt by the teenage generation, whose legacy endures 65 years later. As Buddy Holly said, the sounds and memories of the '50s will not fade away.
