Why is this man not in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? He wrote Running Bear , White Lightning and Chantilly Lace. He was a Texas DJ. And he was a flamboyant performer. Why is he just a footnote in the February 3,1959 plane crash? He was the one and only Big Bopper.

The pilot, Roger Peterson, wasn't certified to fly on instruments alone, which he would have had to do to fly in the conditions over the Dakotas and Iowa that night. On top of it, that real winner of a pilot was flying a plane that featured a type of altitude indicator that functioned nearly opposite of the ones he was used to, meaning he probably idiotically thought he was gaining altitude, when in reality, he was piloting straight for the ground.

Mr. Big Bopper ! He lost his life in an ill-fated, nose-dive, aviation crash on Feb 3, winter 1959. . . A long time ago, with his friends, the great early Rocker, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, who was an early Mexican American Rock & Roller. A later grave exhumation of the Big Bopper's coffin, revealed that the Big Bopper was remarkably well preserved despite having suffered some 200 bone fractures, sustained during the fatal crash. The reason for his exhumation was to lay to rest any possibility of gun shot wounds, as a gun was discovered on board, which had belonged to Buddy Holly. It was also speculated that The Bopper had tried to leave the crash scene, to seek help. But the coroner concluded the Bopper died on impact and had only been rolled away & separated from the wreck during the traumatic impact of the disabled Beach Bonanza aircraft, that winter night. RIP Brothers.
