    My dad wanted to name me Margaret Suzanne so that he, and presumably everyone else, could call me Peggy Sue. I'm only in my mid-20s, so not only would this nickname be awful, but it'd also be incredibly age-inappropriate.


    Thank GOD my mom overruled him.

    I've always thought that Buddy Holly sounded quite petulant and sarcastic in that song.

    When I taught high school English I made my kids parse the metaphors and symbolism in American Pie. This was only eight years ago, they had never heard of so many of the key figures. It made me sad.

    Also, this is much better than the song an ex boyfriend wrote about me:


    "I hated that whore, she was such a bore, what are women for? PAIN PAIN PAIN."

    As a kid, I forced a family friend to drive me all the way from Dallas to Lubbock to see the Buddy Holly statue. 6 hours there, 15 minutes at the statue, 6 hours back.


    Worth it.

    Lets take this time to remember Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. Sometimes they get forgotten in all the Buddy Holly talk.

    @TakeADeepBreath: I won't be able to forget the Big Bopper now as my all time least favourite song 'Chantilly Lace' is now stuck in my head...


    (It once got stuck on repeat in the diner I worked in for a whole 15 hour day at top volume. I would have sold a kidney to make it stop.)

    Peggy Sue Got Married is such a great movie! Kathleen Turner and Nick Cage, I think about this movie all the time, for some odd reason.


    What a chill, what a thrill it's Peg Leggy Sue Kelter (sp?)?
