Well yes, there is a kind of personal connection since they died practically in my backyard. I attended a few events at the Surf Ballroom (where they held their last show) as a teenager. 

But aside from that, American Pie has always been a favorite song of mine. And I like to remember the day the music died.

The local headline is sort of on the nose with the lyrics...😉

February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

“Towards the end of the last Stray Cats tour I noticed that my hands were cramping up,” Setzer wrote. “I’ve since discovered that I have an auto-immune disease. I cannot play guitar. There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play.”

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC’s veteran Lester Holt is stepping down as anchor of the network’s flagship “Nightly News” broadcast in the coming months.

Holt, who has been the face of “Nightly News” for a decade, won’t be leaving NBC altogether, however. In a memo to staff Monday, he said he would be expanding his work on NBC’s “Dateline,” taking on a full-time role.

The transition is expected to take place early this summer. No firm date or successor for “NBC Nightly News” has been named yet.
