Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings before a fateful flight not taken (by one)

Art is not about playing to what is popular.
It’s about being true and having a voice.
That’s what resonates.
And is remembered.
Science and art have a lot in common, especially the fact that what stands out as truly great was probably poo-pooed at the time.
The micro-managers who control science funding and corporate science have the imagination of a foot stool.
“There’s a focus group
That can prove
This is nothing but cold calculation.”
Tragically Hip
Buddy was born 80-years-ago, today in Texas.
