Rock Historian Ed Ward, on The Lost Promise Of Buddy Holly:

We’ll never know what he was looking for while his wife, Maria Elena, did the dishes, but I’m confident now that he’d probably have found it. If it gave him the strength to stand up to the suits who wanted him to be a teenager’s Sinatra and make recordings that built on his already-impressive past, American rock ‘n’ roll might have been very different.
I wrote a friend of mine with some of these speculations after I got the Memorial Collection and Rarities, and he wrote back, “Imagine what we’d think of John Lennon if the Beatles had all died in a plane crash after their first album.” Lennon and Holly would have been the same age, after all.
