Me as usual was overthinking the inclusion of Buddy Holly and the crickets… could have been a tribute act or may be as part of a musical.. thus the red herring
As far as Buddy’s career, he would have held his own against Elvis, The Beatles and Brian Wilson\Beach Boys, etc..
Already adapt at writing great pop songs, it was clear towards he would have also become an amazing producer

before this drops off page one.. the band i haven't seen is The Chameleons (UK)
and the tale is they were touring with The Might Lemon Drops who I was well into at the time.. TMLD played a great set, but then because this was in the days when headlining bands often didn't start until late and then play until the 2am curfew, me and my buddy waited patiently for The Chameleons to come on… it turned 1am on a weekday and with no sign of them hitting the stage, we bailed…

I was actually thinking of guessing that one for you when I chose the Primitives. Though i obviously didn't know the story behind it.

I heard DCD on the radio on Friday covering Sinead O'Connor's Stretched on Your Grave as part of a Halloween themed show, and was going to post that guess Friday. But then I got busy with other stuff and forgot all about it.
