Weezer that has Buddy Holly in this song? Yes, yeah,
that's that. That's the only reason I know who Buddy
Holly is.

Right, I gotta say I was really upset when Bobby
Rydell died because my mom growing up, that was her guy,
that was her heart, like, that was who she had
a crush on. So in my house growing up, we
listened to Bobby right. Hell, we watched by by Bertie.
He was in that movie I went. I took her
to meet him when he was older. Yeah, I took her.

To meet him when he was on tour with Frank
y Avalon and Fabian. I knew all the songs. I
read his book.

So when he passed away, I was very upset because
he was part of my childhood growing up with my parents.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Yeah, my mom just tell me how she always used
to go out to the hop and do the mashed
