more nots

As it's YouTube night and as M. Simon started the tradition of "Not Fade Away" nostalgia here, so I thought I'd supply a few variations on the theme:

First, here's the Rolling Stones, from a 1964 appearance on the Mike Douglas Show:

Originally a Buddy Holly song, "Not Fade Away" was the Stones' first hit in the UK.

And it was a staple for the Grateful Dead, performing it here in1970:

Much as I'd love to find the original Buddy Holly version of "Not Fade Away" on YouTube, some things aren't on video and probably never will be. (Well, there is a video showing the original record spinning, but that doesn't count.)

I think the closest video is this. It's not quite "Not" -- but it is a video of Buddy Holly's "Oh Boy":

The year is 1958 and the crowd is pretty excited.

Thanks for that. I've always liked Buddy Holly but didn't realize 'til years later the debt he owed to Bo Diddley.
