The day the music died

Share definition
Term used to describe any day in which a musician of critical acclaim passes on. The term generally refers to the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper passed on when their plane crashed, but has in recent times been used to describe the passing of other legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon and most recently, Michael Jackson. The term originated from Don Mclean's song 'American Pie', and the event itself is a very emotional time for the music industry, and of course the many dedicated fans of the icon themselves... but it is important to remember that although they are physically gone, the musical contribution they have made to our lives and the music scene in general shall remain with us always...
The day the music died:

Buddy Holly
The Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens
Elvis Presley
John Lennon
Michael Jackson

R.I.P :(

Please note that my opinion is not above other people: you may have your own musical icons that deserve to be up here, which is perfectly fine- but this only refers to the most famous and recognisable musicians where a day the music died has been made upon their passing.

The way the ox moves

Nobody understands how or why the ox moves, it just moves. Used to answer questions with an unknown answer.
"Tim, why'd you think it was a good idea to kick the principal down the stairs today?"

Known as one of the greatest horror games ever made, GTA The Trilogy The Definitive Edition triumphantly remakes three non horror games into horror games. With eerie rain indoors, mutant abominations of human beings, and some of the best AI ever, your perception of reality truly begins to warp into something beautifully terrifying, this is a must play for any horror fan, not to mention the graphics are some of the best in a game yet, as expected of Rockstar Games.
