On the 66th anniversary of “The Day the Music Died” – a plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper – the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is releasing bobbleheads honoring Valens and the Big Bopper. The absence of a Buddy Holly bobblehead is notable, perhaps because his estate didn’t approve the use of his likeness. Valens’ estate also revealed that they are preparing a new biopic on the late singer. (Rolling Stone)
