There's nothing new under the sun, the old saying goes. Then what can you say about hearing a song written in 2009 and swearing you grew up listening to it -- yet it doesn't sound like anything that's come before?
After days on end of grim and dreary news, the first weekend of spring is with us, and with its arrival comes, to many people, the yearly promise of new romance and a chance for lasting love.
There were plenty of stories earlier this week commemorating the 50th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper -- a tragedy later dubbed "The Day the Music Died."

The plane crash took the lives of the pilot, Roger Peterson, and three musicians: Charles Hardin Holley, better known as Buddy Holly, 22; Ritchie Valens (originally Valenzuela), 17; and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, 28.
