Combichrist - Happy Fucking Birthday

The king of rock and roll did not lose his throne during his absence, but was not sure that he would receive his kingdom as he had left him. Many alarming signs indicated that the fashion that caused so much controversy is declining. On February 3, 1959, America learned of the death in a plane crash of Buddy Holly, one of the prominent representatives of the new wave. Elvis hastened to express his condolences to the artist’s relatives, whom he was personally acquainted with, since he had met with him in Texas in 1955, when both had just begun their careers; he himself was several times on the verge of death during a tour and knew how dangerous the life of a wandering artist was. But in addition to the tragedy that claimed the lives of two more idols of that time - Ritchie Walesa, who gave the song "La Bamba" popularity, and a Texas rocker nicknamed Big Bopper,- in this incident you can see a symbol of the deep crisis that rock and roll was going through.
