    There was something unusual about Buddy Holly's funeral. What was it?

    Question #3054. Asked by Rennie. (Jun 05 00 3:25 PM)

    		I'm not sure it would be termed 'unusual' under the circumstances, but Holly's widow did not attend the funeral service.

    		In addition to the above post, I've found the following which I would take with a grain of salt:

    "At Buddy Holly's funeral the vicar said that he was going to hell (Rock and Roll was the devil's music)."
