Today is a day that is more serious than most holidays: One to remember three musicians who died this day and the other to bring awareness to a common disease.
Firstly, today is called The Day the Music Died This refers to a plane crash in 1959 on this day that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. For those of you who don’t know who these guys are, they were basically the music idols long ago. It is always hard to have a musician or singer you grew up loving pass in a terrible way so those of you who were fans of these guys, this one is for you.
Secondly, today is also National Wear Red Day. This day is about spreading awareness towards women about heart disease. Heart disease is a very bad disease that can kill many people; it killed over 7.6 million people in 2005 according to a comment made by Edmund M. Hayes Ph.D. on medpedia.com. So make sure you wear something red today and learn more about the threat of heart disease, especially since many Americans like fatty, fast food and are becoming fatter themselves.
So bow your head in remembrance of the three singers who died this day, spread the awareness of heart disease and have a good day today.
