What makes a comedy real funny? Something that floats on the changing tides of time and taste, remaining relevant and hilarious?

It probably takes more than slapstick, like a pie in the face. We don’t have the answer, but with a partial list assembling some of the best comedies ever made, we’re getting closer to laugh-out-loud enlightenment than humanly thought possible. We’re talking about melting minds, splitting sides, and slapping knees, folks.

It was the day the music died. On February 3, 1959, American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson were all killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.

We remember them today on what later became known as "The Day the Music Died".

Buddy Holly was the single most influential creative force in early Rock & Roll, with a string of classics that only ended with his tragic death at 22.
