NEW YORK — Life imitated art at an auction Saturday when actor Gary
Busey, who played Buddy Holly in a film biography, paid $242,000 for an
acoustic guitar owned by the late rock 'n' roll pioneer.
In addition to
the 1945 Gibson guitar with a cover hand-tooled by Holly, the 118 lots
in the sale included a Fender Stratocaster guitar that netted $110,000.
*i played buddy holly in the worst movie of all time...Great Balls of Fire! starring Gomer Pyle as JLL!
i was filming one of my scenes at the beautiful Memphis
Orpheum watching Gomer (the big DQ) burn the piana down to recreate the
Brooklyn/Freed/Apocryphyl myth, although in a Disney/bowdlerized, epithet-less
bastardization.
listen here my good man of darkened
complexion, why don't you attempt to perform your sidepiece subsequent
to my great pyrotechnic display...
Jerry lee shows up to watch.
he gets out of his limo in flip-flops and a
Sherlock Holmes pipe while me and chuck berry are getting our pictures
snapped with all the extras.
Producer, Adam Fields starts to
introduce me to the Killer, and Jerry Lee looks at this dumbshit, pipsqueak, rock roll, phony-type cat, and says:
killer, i know killer...
and Adam says:
he's playing buddy holly.
Whereupon, Jerry Lee gives me the once-over twice, pops the
meerschaum out of his leering suck-hole, and in a Dilaudid
meets Ferriday accent slurs in my direction:
Killer, Buddy Holly was my best friend in the world...
Then back to Adam:
if you had enough sense to hire, killer here to play Buddy, you got more sense than i thought you had...
then to me again:
Son, you look more like Buddy Holly than Buddy Holly ever did!

"Buddy Holly and I were good friends.One
time we were playing at the Paramount Theater and Buddy came in while I was getting jacked off. She was doing that to
me and Buddy's ready, so she opened up her legs and he put it IN her.
He was half-way single, always sticking around after they made him mess!
He was shy--the sly fag, stiff. I'll never forget Li'l Queenie!"
-Little Richard, 1984
Buddy Holly, a teenager from Lubbock, Texas,
emerges into the world of rock and roll with friends and bandmates,
drummer Jesse Charles and bass player Ray Bob Simmons, forming a trio
known as The Crickets.
The band's first break comes when it is invited to Nashville, Tennessee
to make a recording, but Buddy's vision soon clashes with the
producers' rigid ideas of how the music should sound and he walks out.
Eventually, he finds a more flexible producer, Ross Turner, who, after
listening to their audition, very reluctantly allows Buddy and the
Crickets to make music the way they want.
Turner's secretary, Maria Elena Santiago, quickly catches Buddy's
eye. Their budding romance nearly ends before it can begin because her
aunt initially refuses to let her date him, but Buddy persuades the aunt
to change her mind. On their very first date, Maria accepts his
marriage proposal and they are soon wed.
A humorous episode results from a misunderstanding at a New York
booking. Sol Gittler signs up the Crickets sight-unseen for the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem,
assuming from their music that they're a black band. When three white
Texans show up instead, he is stunned. Unwilling to pay them for doing
nothing, and because Buddy and the Crickets have a contract specifying a
week's engagement for $1000.00, Gittler nervously lets them perform and
prays fervently that the all-black audience doesn't riot at the sight
of the first all-white band to play there. After an uncomfortable start,
Buddy's songs soon win over the audience and the Crickets are a
tremendous hit.
After two years of success, Ray Bob and Jesse decide to quit the
band. They feel overshadowed by Buddy and do not want to relocate to New
York City, which Buddy believes is necessary to stay on top. Initially,
he is saddened by their departure, but he carries on. Maria announces
that she is pregnant and Buddy is delighted.
On February 2, 1959, preparing for a concert at Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly decides to charter a private plane to fly to Moorhead, Minnesota for his next big concert. The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens
join him on the flight. Meanwhile, the Crickets, feeling nostalgic,
appear unexpectedly at Maria's door, expressing their desire to reunite
the band. They plan to surprise Buddy at his next tour stop. After
playing his final song, "Not Fade Away",
Holly bids the crowd farewell with: "Thank you Clear Lake! C'mon. We
love you. We'll see you next year." A caption then reveals that Holly,
Valens, and the Bopper died in a plane crash that night "...and the rest is Rock and Roll."
Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story
*i auditioned for this on Broadway at the Houseman theater, sang 'Oh, Boy!' but came in as first runner up.

Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story a musical in two acts written by Alan Janes, and featuring the music of Buddy Holly, opened at London’s Victoria Palace Theatre on 12 October 1989. Considered to be the first of the so-called ‘Jukebox Musicals’,
Buddy ran in London’s West End for over 14 years, playing 5822
performances. Janes took over the producing of the show himself in 2004
and Buddy has been on tour in the UK for 17 of the last 24 years, and
has played Broadway, 5 U.S. National Tours, Canada, Sweden, South
Africa, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Holland, Singapore,
Finland, Austria, Denmark and countless other productions around the
world leading to the show being named as ‘The World’s Most Successful Rock ‘n’ Roll Musical’. Janes was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Musical, and internationally Buddy has received 29 nominations and awards.
A
late-night fan based conversation in a bar of the Montcalm Hotel in
London’s West End in 1988, between the theatrical agent Laurie
Mansfield, film producer Greg Smith and writer/producer Janes, about the
legendary rock ‘n’ roller Buddy Holly, led Janes to develop and write Buddy. A year later, supported by Paul McCartney, who owned the copyright to Buddy Holly’s music, the show had a try out at the Plymouth Theatre Royal before its transfer to London’s Victoria Palace.
Gary Busey was cool back in the day! ✌️...It's also nice to see him with his son and see how he kinda paved the way for his son to also become a successful actor.
I like Gary Busey! Multi-talented actor, singer and comedian.. But that was Buddy Holly's guitar, quit strumming the thing so hard!!! Buddy was heavy handed and a fair amount of his playing (like Peggy Sue) was almost all down strumming..
He was NOT known for breaking strings. Especially a G string!
To watch Gary and Arsenio grab the broken string and practically rip it out of the guitar and then hold it up and yell "Rock and Roll" was something of overkill... I'd bet Buddy would have not been pleased.
Wow, great clip! Really enjoyable to watch. Love Gary, and Arsenio was always good at bringing unique aspects out of people that other hosts wouldn't. Jake Busey's appearance is just icing on the cake. Thanks for the upload!
For all the people worried about the broken string: Strings are replaced FREQUENTLY on a guitar. The older they are the worse they sound. So no big deal breaking one. I guarantee those are not the strings that were on the guitar when Holly was plunkin' on it.
