How do you survive hitting a moose? I feel like that’s equivalent to hitting a brick wall.

I would assume. That’s where I am.

My city sits on a filled in swamp.

I poured spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.

–Stephen Wright

The same might be true of Buddy Holly. The Crickets had only released a handful of singles and already fallen off the charts before Holly died. If it wasn’t for the massive amount of material they recorded that could be released posthumously they might have just been a footnote.
